For any non-scientific purpose, Julia is not attractive, so I doubt it will gain much more traction.

That's where we are going. Technically being generic over CPU/GPU (for defined set of operations) is not hard, just takes work (and leaders in this domain are interested in keeping thing proprietary), but that's already work in progress.
In general terms, copying Python usability (or 90% of it) is also simple and other languages head that way. Rust or Nim can come very close (when you have good set of libraries and pass the boilerplate).
