Aside from the language features, some of the libraries in Julia make it really useful for statistical computing. One really cool library I am trying to use more and more in Julia is the Measurements library [1]. With the multiple dispatch system in Julia its super easy to integrate into most problems and can let you estimate error bounds on values programs produce. Super important for scientific applications.
I am hoping in the future that I can mix this in with some auto-diff problems to get uncertainty bounds on estimation problems with minimal fiddling with covariance matrices. Right now the performance is the only problem in integrating the library into pretty much any problem :(
