Python vs Julia – an example from machine learning
This Python code is "as expressive" as the Julia code because it's not written in idiomatic Python. Por ejemplo:
for i in range(n): solution[i] = y[i]
when one could simply
solution[:n] = y[:n]
Don't mean to bikeshed, but this is one of many cases.

FWIW, benchmarks indicated that the former was faster than the latter. Remember, this is Cython, so the goal is to write code that is easily compiled into efficient C code, not to write idiomatic Python.
