>With python, there is tons of libraries such as Numpy and Scipy for scientific computing,

I do remember early on when this wasn't the case. Especially when comparing it to Matlab or R. I was discouraged by one professor from learning it. But time has proved otherwise. Julia will likely be the same.

If you compare Julia and Scipy at similar points in their evolution, Julia is far ahead of where Scipy was. And that's while the language itself is still evolving.
