Turing.jl is great as is Flux.jl (which I have used more).
I retired a year ago and was looking to settle down and just use one programming language - easier on an old guy like myself, who has always been fascinated with many programming languages. I ended up picking Common Lisp for my retirement projects, mostly because of almost 4 decades experience with CL.
For a Lisp programmer, Julia feels like a very comfortable language. The interactive repl is very nice. I experimented with Flux a lot, and wrote snippets for web scraping, text processing, etc. It also worked really well for these non-numeric use cases: a very good general programming language, not just for numeric processing.
Julia has great Python interop so just in case you need a Python library, you have it available.
