If you are talking about scientific computing, sure, compare PyPy, R, and Julia (and probably add cython, numba and company to make a meaningful comparison).

But the OP seems to be interested in web dev where Julia does not deserve the same attention as PyPy, node, and Go.

Julia might be intended for a scientific audience, but there doesn't appear to be any reason why it couldn't address server-side needs. It just needs the right library (like Python did).

By the time Julia hits 1.0, I wouldn't be surprised if someone had developed a decent networking library.
