I also started in Matlab + C, and didn't personally like Python very much, but wound up liking Julia after a bit of adjustment.

Still a work in progress, but I've written up a few of my lessons learned in the process [1] in case they're useful to anyone else. Properly figuring out type stability and dispatch-oriented programming took me way too long, but things started making a lot more sense after that.

I haven't used it a ton, but [2] also seems potentially useful for anyone else interested in making the same switch.
