"Python's strength is its simplified coding style"
Anyone familiar with Python is unlikely to struggle with the syntax of Julia or with reading straightforward Julia code. In fact, I'd argue that Julia is easier to learn than Python in many aspects.
Python is now a large language, not the small, simple language of years past. Of course, in both languages (Julia and Python) you can ignore complex features.
But what Python also gives you is abundant examples and solutions to problems that are easily found on the Web.
In contrast, new(ish) programming languages suffer from a lack of libraries, examples and tutorials that slows down momentum.
