In the first paper¹ describing the language design, by its creators, they state that:

“Our implementation of Julia consists of 11000 lines of C, 4000 lines of C++, and 3500 lines of Scheme”.

That's from 2012 when the language was in version 0.1. We're now in version 1.4 (1.5 launching soon!). At this point, 3.1% of the julia git repo is femptlisp (scheme), but I can assure you that is not being used for any heavy lifting or scientific computations. It's for the parser.
