In as few lines of coherent code as possible show why you love Julia :slight_smile: I’ll kick this off with a silly example: message = Dict( [1,2,3,4] .=> ["why", "is", "julia", "great?"]) result = join(map(x -> message[x], [ 3, 2, 4 ] ), " ") println(result[1:(end-1)])

@fjfranco , even if stretching it by one order of magnitude and running the Julia REPL on a cell phone it wasn’t enough time to get an espresso shot ready… julia> @time sort!(rand(Float64, 100_000_000)) 12.751227 seconds (25 allocations: 762.959 MiB, 0.23% gc time)

This is the first example I propose in Julia seminars to amaze my students! Enjoy your expresso!

The beauty of Julia language, specially in OhMyREPL colors: [Screenshot_20210516-020744] NB: snapshot of Android cellphone REPL. Post edited because of censorship.

Have you tried it in other languages? Could you explain what’s your point in this example? It seems to be fast in any language with an efficient sort() and rand() functions. For example, MATLAB (R2021a): >> tic; sort(rand(1e7, 1)); toc; Elapsed time is 0.223402 seconds. Python (3.9.4 + MKL): %t…

What is this? Do you have a link? Does it work with android? Do I need to be root?

[image] fjfranco: @time sort!(rand(Float64, 10000000)) Even faster using SortingAlgorithms @time sort!(rand(Float64, 10000000), alg=RadixSort) [image] RoyiAvital: julia> @time sort!(rand(Float64, 10_000_000)); 0.733050 seconds (2 allocations: 76.294 MiB, 9.77% gc time) Try the abov…

Because Julia people don’t quit(); the exit() gracefully.
