I agree, the scope of the article is somewhat specific to the "toy" example presented.

Generally I would use C++ or (gasp!) Fortran with either MPI or CUDA for these sorts of tasks if performance was the most critical factor.

I'm excited by the Julia language though!

It's py3 but there is a back port of it for py2 that works wonderfully. I've recently begun using it and will never look back to multiprocessing (on which it is built).
