There is a ISLR package for R with a bunch of example datasets used in the book. Those datasets are also available in RDatasets.jl
Doing the ISLR example in Julia would involve a lot of writing of functionality. Last summer I browsed through the statistics functionality available in Julia and something like 60-70% of the stuff used in ISLR isn't yet implemented.
