Thank you for the detailed answer. I guess I should just give it a proper try by converting an old project into Julia. So here is an example and my worries ... My project uses GDAL, PIL, SentinelSat libraries to collect Sentinel 1 imagery and process it, pandas, numpy, scipy extensively. Would I find a bunch of those modules missing? I assume so ... I guess then I might be better of to trying a new project in Julia. Something not too easy but not too hard.

I don't know much about geospatial stuff, but I do know there are people working on that in the community. I'd be rather surprised if you couldn't find Julia packages that fill those needs for you. Worst case scenario, you might need to do the GDAL, PIL and SentinelSat stuff with PyCall and then the Pandas, Numpy and Scipy stuff should all be quite well supported from the Julia side. I can ask around to see if there's anyone who can answer this better though.

> pandas, numpy, scipy Julia more than covers all the functionality of those packages. >PIL https://github.com/JuliaImages/Images.jl https://github.com/JuliaImages/Images.jl > GDAL https://github.com/yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl https://github.com/yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl https://github.com/JuliaGeo https://github.com/JuliaGeo >SentinelSat I'd use PyCall.jl for that. It's very easy and does automatic conversion of types etc

  ArchGDAL.jl is great. We just added it to Circuitscape.jl too - a conservation ecology package.
