Julia is similar to Python, in that it is a high level language where it is easier to read and write syntactically yet it retains a great deal of speed, similar to the lower level c language. So, the question I pose is, who may win 100 or 200 years from now? Maybe something else will beat Julia too by then… But right now Python has a massive number of available modules, a plethora of helpful troubleshooting tips all over StackOverflow, etc. The user-base is extremely widespread with Python and people are sometimes reluctant to delve into another language unless they truly feel hindered in some way. Speed might be the main enticing factor that will pull users away from Python into Julia. Julia even lets you use cool Greek letters within the code which is atypical – that alone of course is trivial in my mind in terms of becoming the next, up and coming coding language of the future though. But imagine Python what it is today and imagine adding to it the speed Julia has. All Julia needs is time and, in my opinion, Julia will win the contest.
