My two cents: while Julia is arguably more complex than Go, it's type system and especially its data types (N-dimensional arrays, ...) make it way more suited anything that needs to process complex data, or do anything that's even closely related to geometry. `.|>` is wonderful and makes functional-like code easier, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, macros are also beautiful and absurdly useful. Also LLVM more often than not generates faster code than the Go backend, albeit the slowdown at startup in Julia programs is often a dealbreaker for small scripts and iteration in my experience

Also, the REPL. Julia's REPL is vastly better than any other language REPL, by far. Python's is good but Julia is way better, even as a calculator for instance, it has fractions and it is more suited for maths

Yeah, Julia's REPL deserves special attention as it allows to do the package management (by pressing "]"), look for the functions help ("?") and do shell operations (";") without leaving it.
