Julia is a programming language designed for high performance scientific computing. This poster presents the current state of Julia software libraries for astronomy, i.e., AstroJulia libraries. It lists those basic functional libraries that are available today and those that are expected soon, and compares and contrasts those libraries with similar AstroPy libraries. It shows that AstroJulia functionality is nearly on par with that of AstroPy, while providing much higher performance.
