I don’t see anything intrinsic to Julia that makes it more difficult than Python. Personally, I find the language a bit more consistent.
Python is better for library users in the sense that Python has more libraries, but I remember not many years ago when nobody was doing anything serious in Python for statistics because the libraries were so poor and so few compared to R.
Julia has some great libraries being built that leverage some of the properties of Julia that Python can’t easily match.
Will Julia “beat” Python? Maybe in the sense that Python has “beaten” R. Note that R continues to do just fine, thank you. So too will Python do fine. But you may be surprised to find some killer libraries or frameworks that are firmly in Julia’s domain in the future.
