Everything is possible with enough effort. People wrote games in Assembly language too in the past. The thing though is that as long as the domain you want to work in has Julia packages, there is a high chance you job will simply be a lot easier in Julia. I have recently been working with a REST API, something I don't do with either Python or Julia normally. I spent probably 10x as long time getting this to work in Python. It was not just a matter of not doing what I wanted, but also in not supporting well established conventions well as well as simply having far more complex APIs than the Julia equivalent. This is something I frequently find. Julia APIs for doing the same thing as in Python will generally be much easier to work with. Python APIs also tend to be very OOP oriented and stateful. Meaning there is a lot of mutating of hidden state. Julia APIs tend to show much more clearly what the data flow, is because they follow a more functional approach, where mutation of state is generally avoided. Although Julia is pragmatic. It isn't like working in Haskell. NOTE: I am not saying Python is a bad language. It would usually be my second choice. I am just trying to say that there are REAL advantages to using Julia, which go far beyond mere performance. I never started using Julia due to performance but due to its expressiveness and clean APIs.
