In Julia the DL library, for example, is written in Julia. What you are claiming is a pro is actually a con. You don't need to learn C/C++ or fortran. I've been working with python and ML for about 4 years and haven't touched any C/C++ or fortran to get work done. I agree that it'd be better if we could do everything with just one language but the truth is that Julia is not that language. It's great for HPC but expressive enough for generic things like Web.
