I think the draw towards Julia is long term rather than 
productivity right now. If scientific programmers interested in 
interactive dataset exploration gravitate towards Julia then at 
some point they will have tailored solutions using the GPU...

Most people probably don't want to write an interactive 
application entirely in a language like C++, D, Rust or Go, even 
if it was a supported option with full GUI library support!

But making the engine of the app portable is important. So, being 
able to compile libraries to llvm-bit code, WebAssembly, ARM, x86 
etc is very important.
