Hi, I was experimenting with the new 0.5 features and they are great! But to my surprise, the generator syntax doesn't work as I'm expecting. Let's say I want to calculate some summation. With the old syntax I could do
@time sum([2*t for t in 1:2:100]) 0.015104 seconds (13.80 k allocations: 660.366 KB) that allocates the array within the summation. Now I thought this would a prime example where the memory overhead could be decreased by using the new notation i.e. @time sum(2*t for t in 1:2:100) 0.019215 seconds (18.98 k allocations: 785.777 KB) ,but generator syntax performs slightly worse. Also if we want find the maximum we would do julia> @time maximum([2*t for t in 1:2:100]) 0.015182 seconds (12.90 k allocations: 606.166 KB) 198 julia> @time maximum(2*t for t in 1:2:100) 0.019935 seconds (18.74 k allocations: 772.180 KB) 198 Have I understood the new generator syntax incorrectly or should the new syntax perform better in these code snippet examples?
