If speed isn't a huge factor, what application for Julia that would make it worth it to use Julia rather than Python? What project could I do easily in Julia that's more complicated or less natural than python?</p> <p>There are some existing articles on technical features of using Julia, like <a href="https://dev.to/jballanc/five-more-reasons-to-check-out-julia-26k6">Five (More) Reasons to Check Out Julia</a>, but that doesn't help in the context of understanding what projects would make me want to use it vs. Python. There are also many articles about peoples' experience learning Julia, like <a href="https://dev.to/shuv1824/my-first-impression-of-julia-2e8h">My First Impression of Julia</a>, <a href="https://dev.to/safijari/teaching-myself-julia-10j8">Teaching myself Julia</a>, <a href="https://dev.to/alecsanchez/my-julia-vm-and-what-i-learned-3n4i">My Julia VM and what I learned</a>, <a href="https://dev.to/epogrebnyak/julialang-and-surprises---what-im-learning-with-a-new-programming-language--21df">Julia, surprise me!
