Hardly seems worth the effort, perhaps things have improved since 2019. It would be interesting to see an updated benchmark, but if your going to end up with code that looks like C++ to get proper performance, you might as well write it in C++. My biggest problem with Julia is that they decided to use column-major indexing for multi-dimensional arrays (i.e. FORTRAN/MATLAB style). This makes interoperability with C/C++ and python numpy a real pain, since you can't do zero-copy array sharing between the two without one side being forced into strided-access. For that reason alone I haven't adopted it in any of my work-flows.
