I used to be a huge Ruby fan but I got to say Julia had proven to be a much nicer language than Python or Ruby ever was. It gives stronger typing so it feels a bit more like a statically typed language in terms of safeguarding you, but without getting in the way. Lot of the power of LISP without the odd syntax.

Problem is the community is not web focused so you may not find enough choice in web libraries to your taste.

I am a data scientist, so I've always been interested in Julia and have had fun messing around with it, even if I can never find an excuse to use it at work.

Have you been using Julia for a "general purpose" programming? It seemed very domain specific to me, more like an upgrade from R and Matlab then something you would write a web server with.
