It may take a while, however. 15-20 years ago, you kind of had to use Python on the sly in the scientific setting vs the incumbents (MATLAB, C++, Fortran). Julia seems to be in a similar phase.

That being said, Python does have some structural advantages since it positions itself as a universal glue. It's much easier to gain a critical mass in that regard vs a niche area like scientific or numerical computing. That being said, Julia is probably underrated in general purpose usage.

I think Julia has a much better path to wide adoption for numerical computing/HPC. It is a much better language for package developers (you pretty much never have to go to a lower level language and everything can compose together with much less work). If you look at Julia and Python packages with similar functionality, the Julia one will typically be much more general and 1/10th the lines of code. This is a pretty powerful incentive for on-boarding package devs.

I'm very excited about this, but my guess is it will take years for the packages to be so broadly and clearly superior that there's a mass migration to Julia. And even then people may prefer to just call Julia from a language they're more comfortable with. Still, it would be amazing for Julia to become the single go-to high-performance language of ML/DL/AI, advanced statistical modeling, HPC, etc.
