'Also it is not object oriented which is probably the most popular paradigm.'
Popularity isn't a suitable metric for 'good'. Look at McDonald's food.
'Python will not be overtaken soon by such an exotic language.'
Python and Julia aren't competitors. Python is suitable for scripts and gluing high performance code together. Julia is a general purpose language which is suitable for writing high performance code.
Object orientation was likely a mistake. The industry is slowly moving away from it. There is no abstraction you can express with object orientation that you can't express with multiple dispatch. Structs are very much like the data part of objects.
