or learn both and have the convenience+speed of Julia for scientific work? Speaking from my experience here as a bioengineering PhD student. The Julia learning curve is low enough for an experienced Python/scipy user to switch over fairly swiftly.

edit: also, I would be very surprised if you had seen any Julia job ads, v1.0 hasn't been released yet. Doesn't mean it can't make my scientific life easier in the meanwhile.

I don't use Julia and I only use Python occasionally, but I'd rather go for Cython than Julia...
