Will julia take over Python?

Question

Hello people,
There are so many programing languages these days. Am trying to learn advanced Python concepts but recently I came across another language called a julia. Julia has its own advantages and disadvantages as well but it's pretty new. So what you guys think will julia over come Python. Am just asking this as a answer for my long term run. Ignore if inappropriate.

Answer 1

In terms of Data science and Statistics.. Tough call.
In terms of other python applications.. No.

But it'll definitely replace Octave and Matlab
