On: Python vs Julia – an example from machine learning

[westurner]

1. Where is the source for this benchmark?

2.http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org could be a bit more representative of broad-based algorithmic performance.

3. There are lots of Python libraries for application features other than handpicked algorithms. I would be interested to see benchmarks of the marshaling code in IJulia (IPython with Julia)
