Yes Julia is interesting, but for most use cases the languages is (to my knowledge) still significantly slower than C, while not having the great library ecosystem that e.g. Python has. This might change in the future though, and I know that really bright people like Stefan Karpinski are behind the language, so I'm sure it might become a serious contender to Python in the future.
