imo, Julia is a better fit than rust or C++ for hpc/gpgpu

It might someday, still lots of room to improvement regarding current workloads.

I not not seeing Fermilab or CERN doing real time beam processing in Julia anytime soon.

Or stuff like having graphical shader debugging tools for Julia.

Julia already is starting to be used for high energy physics (see https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.11952.pdf and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlfAa-LN1SA for details). It's definitely not the default yet, but there absolutely is effort to use it for particle accelerators.
