Re: [Gretl-users] When Julia is faster than C and Gretl

BTW, to have Python's syntax coloring in the foreign block is just great! I think some hybrid computing like this is the way to go if in real life you have some loop-heavy function that is slow and which can't be accelerated by vectorization of better use of built-in functions. To put together the necessary few lines of Python code is usually doable I'd say. Of course there's a noticeable overhead here because some temporary files are read and written, and you have the python startup plus the just-in-time compilation. All this is less than 1sec and for practical purposes this is really negligible compared to the speedup, if you don't need to call the function too often. I'd be interested in an analogous solution for Julia in a foreign block! cheers, sven
