The package https://github.com/JuliaGPU/KernelAbstractions.jl was specifically designed so that julia can be compiled down to kernels.
Julia's is high level yes, but Julia's semantics allow it to be compiled down to machine code without a "runtime interpretter" . This is a core differentiating feature from Python. Julia can be used to write gpu kernels.
