Fast for-loop, the ability to microoptimize numerical code (skip bounds checking in array access, SIMD optimations), GPU vector computing can use exact same code as CPU due to Julia functions being highly polymorphic. Your research code is your production code.

Also the macro system allows one to define powerful DSLs (see Gen.jl for AI).
