If you want gradual typing for a smoother ride and performance then just choose Julia. Seriously.

Let's wait a couple of years until Julia stabilizes itself before suggesting is ready for production

Stabilization and proliferation of libraries; afaik its ecosystem is currently only really fulfilled for numpy/scipy/ml workloads

Seems Julia developers and evangelists main objective is to "kill Python", am I wrong?

They can have whatever goals they wish, but regardless, having an ecosystem like .net or python requires a critical mass of users; and once you have that, the language goals don’t even matter; they’ll just have libraries for everything, whether they like it or not.
