It's possible that the someone talked to me. I recall offering the opinion to someone at RacketCon/ICFP/StrangeLoop that Racket would not be as fast as Julia for the case that Julia is designed for --- specifically numerics --- due to the way the Julia compiler specializes programs to numeric types and hands off to LLVM as its back end. But I agree with others that Racket is likely to be faster on most things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
