You could check on [https://pkg.julialang.org](https://pkg.julialang.org) and find the [Feather](http://github.com/JuliaStats/Feather.jl) package. Notice that it is owned by the [JuliaStats](https://github.com/JuliaStats) organization, which is a good place to start looking for Julia packages related to statistical computing.

Also, check the recent announcement of [JuliaDB](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-juliadb-jl/3564). This is a step forward relative to other systems for manipulating and processing large amounts of tabular data. The purpose of Julia isn’t to imitate the capabilities in Python or R or Matlab and stop there. It is to design novel and effective software to solve real-world problems.

If you want to continue a discussion of the laundry list of capabilities that must be provided for you before you are willing to consider using a system, you may want to consider commercial software.
