As a Pythoner previously I have big interest in learning Julia and it indeed looks nice. But based on some small project I tried, it didn't show a significantly improved performance vs. Python. On the other hand, it doesn't have all the Python eco-system which is super nice for anybody who don't want to reinvent the wheel. Therefore, I don't have strong motivation to switch from Python to it for algorithm/learning related task.

Moreover, the benchmark you listed here are still mostly scientific computation related. Just from the benchmark, I'm not convinced enough that Julia beat Go from the perspective of a backend system, which is what I primarily use Go for.

Go and Julia really serves totally different purpose. Go want to replace Python in backend and the Python ecosystem matters little here. Julia want to replace Python in scientific computing and Python ecosystem matters a LOT here.

Are you sure you were using the language properly?

Some constructs are still slow, and others prevent type inference, which can also slow things down...
