As someone using (and loving) both Python and Julia, I found the title overpromises and the content underdelivers. More accurate header would be "Personal take on REPL/shell interactions in bpython and Julia".

What is your opinion on both languages?

My take is from scientific computing perspective. But as my opinion isn't that interesting, I take this opportunity to cite some julia-python-language-relatedtopics on HN.

I'm still betting on Julia https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11516374 and, since I do not use it for "production", I'm not giving up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11692155

That said, if it's all about speed, then Python can be, well, faster: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10735840 (especially so if you need BigInt, these still suck in Julia.)

Recently, discovered Go(language). Clean design rules! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4158865, (but you shouldn't take it for what it is not https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12330573)
