For me personally, I just think it's really fun to write julia code. Granted, I'm neither machine learning nor physical science, but the fact that I can go through the whole stack and choose an abstraction that's right for the problem at hand (Metaprogramming? Regular struct-based abstractions? External program? LLVM optimization? Inline assembly?) and still being able to understand what's going on while getting good performance at the same time, is just magical to me. Maybe that's not for everyone, but to me the ratio of dev time to run time is just really, really good.
