If you do something with some number crunching it’s Julia.
First it’s nice because notation is very similar to math and turning algorithms into code is easy, but then comes multiple dispatch, nice dynamic type system and lisp-like ability to modify the code.

There are some cool Markov chain Monte Carlo packages too, that are updated relatively often. For more cohesive references, there are books on Julia via Packt Publishing. While Python has its purposes, Julia is just a fun language to use.
