You realise they didn't put the bold there manually?

Yeah I agree this comparison is unfair, but who cares? Even if it was fair Julia should be way faster than Python! Python is one of the slowest languages in popular use. Everything should be faster than it.

The fact that somebody submitted a comparison to Python in the first place is kind of embarrassing. Like saying "look! my car is faster than a camel!".
