Does Julia community have a typesetting tool(s) like knitr + Latex? a.k.a can i embed Julia code on to a latex document the same way I can do with R code? That is one feature that can convert me very quickly.

Not quite native, but you can use Knitr with Julia. Carson Sievert (IA State stats grad student) has written up some slides:

IJulia[1] is probably closest to the community supported equivalent, but it's based on IPython

There is also Weave.jl, which is young but looks like it is coming along very nicely: https://github.com/mpastell/Weave.jl
