It does feel like julia will not make the leap to displace python, but for a long time python offered too few improvements over perl, so its not completely out of the question.

Yeah, at some point I was hoping it would. But after attending a day of JuliaCon last year: Julia is nowhere close to replacing Python, but it might put MATLAB in the ground.

It looks like Julia has found a few niches though: HPC and numerical modelling among them.
