Should I/can I have the python code files and the Julia code files in the same catkin workspace, or should I have the different client libraries in separate catkin workspaces?

There is no need for a different workspace. A workspace is nothing magical, it is essentially just a directory that contains a bunch of sub directories that happen to follow a specific layout and have a few signature files in them (package.xml, CMakeLists.txt, etc). Because of those files (and their location), tools like catkin can provide a few convenient services, but all of that can be done manually as well.

What you do in those directories is up to you.

You do need to keep in mind the ROS naming conventions and make sure your packages are 'good citizens' of your workspace (no two packages with the same name, fi).
