> If the goal of Julia is to replace R/Python then their priorities feel way off the mark

There's a lot more to scientific computing than wrangling tabular data. Julia is competing in that overall space with R/Python/Fortran/Java/C++. If R or Pandas is better at data wrangling, then Julia won't win out there. But so be it. No PL is best at everything.
