I have been working with python for years. I tried Julia a few months back. The core language is well designed but the surrounding libraries are still far from mature. I found myself dipping into python through pycall for basic needs like URL downloading. That said, I will be going back again :-) The community is very responsive. It used to make me wonder whether the core team ever took a break. TLDR if you are willing to contribute where Julia lacks, pl go ahead. Else, if you are looking for a stable environment, you are better off with python.

Appreciate your input. Sounds like I am better off sticking with python for the time being.
