I agree that the first question is a very interesting one. I would be interested in the answer myself.

I made it clear however that I was going to answer a different question: did the Julia team wrote Python benchmarks the best way for Python?

That's all what the post is about: how to run Python code faster.

I will need way more Julia experience to be able to even think about answering the first question. The only thing I am 100% sure is that these micro benchmarks do not help answering that question.
