Julia vs Fortran complaint

As for the performance claims in the blog post. I understand where the uneasiness with those quotes comes from. I’ve
had the same discussion with our marketing folks. However, they are real quotes from our actual customers
that have replaced their legacy code bases with julia implementations. That’s of course not a “language speed
benchmark” and part of the improvement certainly comes from redoing the implementation and incorporating
learnings from the legacy solutions. So I’d take it for what it is. It’s testimonials from some
people who’ve switched to julia and saw huge benefits. I think we’d be remiss not to advertise that they
were able to do that.
