    Comparing Julia vs Numpy vs Fortran for performance and code simplicity

  • No surprise, because NumPy is implemented with Fortran which is designed to be efficient and fast at mathematical operations. Rust is not. And Python is not either, which is why it uses Fortran under the covers.

    I wouldn't be surprised to Rust numerical libraries created similar to NumPy which also use Fortran, for the same reasons.

    If you want a real comparison, try NumPy vs Julia:
