Re: [julia-users] "using " scope within a module

The first call is executed in Main since the DataFrames module hasn't started yet. The second loads names so that DataFrames can use those functions internally. This is not a pattern I'd encourage since it doesn't load names into the caller's namespace: it always loads them into Main. -- John

Either way, one thing is quite unfortunate about this code. The compilation process isn't able to figure out that 10^8 is a constant so it recomputes it on every loop iteration.
