As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to ignore Julia articles that are more than a year or so old. Anything that is discussing pre-1.0 may be completely irrelevant at this point. The language has evolved a lot, even the past few years, and it is only with the 1.0 release last fall that the devs promised to start maintaining backwards compatibility. So there are lots of older articles discussing drawbacks to Julia, or ways to do things in Julia, that simply aren’t relevant anymore. Unfortunately they still often are the first links that come up when searching google for Julia questions.
