[Gsl-shell-info] gsl-shell vs julia

[john]

hello all,

just fyi... about a year ago i was playing around with comparing 
gsl-shell with julia and had posted some scripts here...

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/1662#issuecomment-39637255

...in hope that they would add gsl-shell to their benchmarks.  well it 
looks like they will be adding it to their benchmarks, but the gsl-shell 
script they use may not be optimized (especially the latest version of 
gsl-shell).  perhaps a more advanced user may want to take a look so 
that there is a good comparison of the languages???  i think the script 
they will be using is this...

i though i remember seeing a comparison of the two on the gsl-shell site 
somewhere but i can't find it anymore.

thx,
-john
