There are some examples of doing just this

@Steven Sagaert 
Well, what you say definitely holds true, if your goals are to have nice 
scientific visualizations as quickly available as possible.
My goals are somewhat different. I want to go more into the direction of 
visual debugging and interactive programming, while keeping everything in 
one fast, high-level language.
I think it's finally time to get away from C++ as the only acceptable 
language for high performance 3D graphics.
It is indeed a bumpy road as there are a lot of pieces missing and it 
manifests in the slow progress of GLPlot, but I think it'll pay off 
eventually.

Hi Simon,
The screenshots looks nice but I have to ask: why build a high performance 
native 2D/3D scientific plotting lib based on openGL from scratch when you 
could wrap mature native libs like VTK or Mayavi? I mean in R you have RGL 
 which is also directly based on openGL. You can use it for some basic 3D 
interative scatterplots & surfaceplots but personally I don't find these 
plots very satisfactory. I mean "raw" openGL itself is mainly for 3D 
graphics not scientific visualization and hence a whole lot more work is 
needed to add this functionality on top of it.

It should be possible to use 3D (surf etc) plots from PyPlot with
Interact.jl in IJulia.

I've used matplotlib's 3D plotting capabilities successfully through 
PyPlot.jl in the past.

Well there is GLPlot.jl , but it 
might not be what you're looking for...
Also it's on a feature freeze right now.
I'm restructuring the architecture, before I add more advanced features.
