Julia for Pythonistas

" summary

Claims concrete speedups and working projects: Python code translates with little change and Julia runs numeric routines far faster (example sum: Julia ~10 ms vs Python ~500 ms), direct C/Fortran interop via ccall and PyCall, OpenBLAS-backed array ops, built-in multi threading and distributed primitives, Jupyter support, ~2000 packages. Large wins: Celeste processes 188 million objects in 14.6 minutes reaching 1.5 petaflop on Cori; New York Fed reports ~10x speedups and fewer lines of code; parallel SVD and other prototypes actually complete and scale.
