David Radice and I recently discussed reading Carpet HDF5 data into Julia http://julialang.org. A few weeks ago, I converted a Python visualization script to Julia. This was quite easy to do, and I thus thought I'd post it here for others to see.
The Julia script is an Ipython (now: Jupyter) notebook. The link below should lead to a tarball in my Google Drive folder that anybody can download. In addition to the script, there is also some sample Carpet output that the script uses to create a movie, as well as the movie itself that is generated by the script.

This isn't a cleaned-up example that's easy to use, but rather a straight copy of the script I'm using to experiment with the data. I hope it works for others (after adapting the obvious path names in the script). If you find it interesting and encounter problems, I'll be happy to help, and if this is generally useful, it could probably be cleaned up into a much nicer example.
Enjoy, -erik
