As far as capabilities are concerned, they should be pretty similar, although Julia hasn't been used as much for those things, and do likely still has some usage and bug issues lurking.
One thing you'll probably find is that Julia's startup time might be a bit slow if you need anything beyond what's in Base. Precompiled modules are coming, but right now, modules are compiled on load. Other questions to ask yourself are who else will need to maintain things, and how willing you are to test and report bugs, usage issues, or documentation improvements. Julia is great for a lot of things, but is a lot younger than python, and so likely won't work as well out of the box. Just my opinions, others may differ. Cheers!
