Julia is positioned well to be a powerful high performance language in a niche market, that of scientific simulation, due to is reliance on long running. It also doesn't consistently match C benchmarks last I checked, "only" getting within a factor of 2 or 3. For a pythonlike language its very impressive and powerful, but its main competitive power is as a higher performance replacement for Matlab or mathy python.
