You’re correct - I had no intention to compare with Python or start a debate - the extract was to highlight that he either didnt know of Julia or didnt consider it (despite aggrievances with Python).
In so far as the benchmark - the article opens with the “one billion row challenge” with corresponding link that doesnt appear to have a Julia entry.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Article - How fast is your programming language
The one billion row csv file can easily be processed in Julia using the existing duckdb entry. Obviously that solution doesn’t use CSV.jl. In my experience when running the same duckdb query, Julia started with multiple threads will be faster than python to return the results.
