I see nothing but support for it online, and many benchmarks showing a notable improvements over Python or R. The main reason why it is not already rivaling Python or R is the framework and packages. The language is still new, and does not have a mature framework. Even though it is now on the stable v1.4, there are features I&rsquo;ve seen described as as &lsquo;in development&rsquo;. The packages are also maturing, and I can find many equivalent packages to those I use a biologist. However, I will admit a certain level of distrust until I understand Julia better.</p>
