Julia has some elegant aspects that make it a joy to work with. I'd turn your comment around a little bit though: > Julia still has a long way to go in regards to libraries For me, the core practical benefit of python is the ecosystem. I also like the language and there are definitely some intellectually satisfying "pythonic" things you can do. But for work, my core concern is productivity, and python has mature libraries across everything I do (ML / data science) that let me spend my time using it as a tool and not sorting out quirks of the v0.1 libraries. That's really it. The no fred lunch with Julia is that it's nowhere near the maturity (including documentation) of libraries that python has.
