Of course it can be used for a general purpose stuff, but it should not, because there are always much better tools that a specialised for those domains. It's never a good idea to use a language for something it was not designed for.

The main thing holding it back is lack of tooling, debugging, and somewhat largish changes in syntax still. Having said that writing typed, expressive, and _performant_ DSL's in Julia is easy if not even kinda fun.
