> I like Julia because it's extremely fast

...compared to Python, under some circumstances, disregarding startup time.

Don't oversell it. Don't confuse what Julia aspires to be with what it is, or you'll just turn people off when they feel they've been misled. There are extremely fast ahead-of-time-compiled languages that would have finished their computation while Julia is still JIT-ing its kernel.
