A slightly different comparison of R and Julia vectorisation closer to what most R people mean when they say "vectorised". The code example is plucked from the Julia blog discussion on code optimisation. Surprisingly for this use case Julia devectorised (~=0.18 secs) is just a little better than Julia vectorised (~= 0.25 secs), which is a little…
