From a data science perspective do you see any obvious advantages to Julia compared to R/Python?

I think it really depends on what subset of data science you have in mind. For me it solved my personal version of the "two-language" problem, but YMMV. Longer-term I think the most interesting thing about the Julia ecosystem is the composability that comes from dispatch-oriented programming [1]
