It's hard to say anything about your use-case without more information, but I will say that one thing is that the way people talk about julia often seems to give people a mistaken impression about how to attain it's performance claims. Namely, realizing these claims requires learning the language, and actually taking advantage of it's strengths rather than just writing 'python in julia'. It's very common for Python users to show up on the Discourse forum and complain that julia is slower than python and then show some code that's basically just Python code written in julia, including a huge proliferation of global variables, allocating huge amounts of temporary arrays, etc. There's also a huge spectrum of 'benchmark quality' out there. E.g. the benchmarks this HN post features seem pretty shitty and are not measuring anything interesting or useful as far as I can tell.
