It's still early days for Julia, and performance is uneven. I wouldn't use it for serious work unless 1) an expert in your field is already using it (e.g. Udell and Convex.jl) or 2) you carefully benchmark your key computations. In my case, I wrote C++ and Python benchmarks and stumbled on a performance problem that the Julia team knew about and plans to address.
