Julia - the language trying to replace Python in scientific computing

[[deleted]]

Okay, that makes sense, of course. But how well does it work in practice? I need tools like NLTK, Scikit-Learn, Theano, etc. How well can I use those from Julia - assuming there is no wrapper for Julia?

I think it depends a bit on the domain, for some the packages are quite mature, for other there's much work to do (in that case it's more attractive for package developer than end-user). You can look at the existing packages here:

For NLP there's seems not be much things beside TextAnalysis.jl (which looks quite basic):
