I don't have much experience with Numba, but Julia, contrary to some online claims, is not really "reads like Python, runs like C" language. When it is able to run like C, it doesn't look as clean as Python, and vice versa. I am not familiar with Julia nor Numba internals, but maybe Numba, due to being more specialized, can actually provide LLVM with info that allows it to make more aggressive optimizations more easily.
