#3For those thinking "What's Julia?", article has a nice tldr --
Julia is the fastest modern high performance open source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

#4"Speed of C++ and Java"? What does that even mean?

Its performance rivals that of traditionally "fast" languages for a wide variety of benchmarks.

#6I'm not sure I buy the notion of, "Solves the two language problem." There is always going to be some library or environment consideration that makes a unified language for everything impractical (unless your entire business runs on an AS400).

- JuliaPro is the go-to product for anyone who wants to use Julia – professionals, engineers, software developers and data scientists. Beginners and experts can build better software quicker and dramatically improve performance.
- JuliaRun is for scalable deployment of Julia in production for real time analytics and large-scale parallel simulations in the public cloud or a private cluster.
- JuliaBox lets data scientists, quants and strats run Julia in Jupyter notebooks right in the browser. JuliaBox is the number one choice for universities teaching Julia since students can get started with Julia in seconds with no installation required.
- JuliaFin is a suite of Julia packages that simplify the workflow for quantitative finance, reducing the gap between the quant and the trader. JuliaFin provides the fastest path from market data to market transactions by leveraging the full power of Julia for implementing new trading strategies where time is of the essence.
EDIT: Oh, and consulting/training:

By taking investor money and living on it. Have yet to hear about them making anymuch significant money except for seemingly staged "success stories"

Even there you got support for C, C++, Java amung others as well as the whole IBM family (RPG/ILE, CL, REXX, ...) With somewhat decent bindings in RPG.

They sell an enterprise version of Julia for $1500 per year. The main things you get are support, MS Excel integration, and a non-GPL license. They also offer consulting, training, and a few other flavors of Julia (large scale server based gets its own edition).
I'm sure the main draw will be companies that don't want to be stuck with a GPL license in their product.
