I've had the same two complaints as you when I tried Julia ~2 years ago. I was told that the startup situation improved to the point of it not being a problem anymore, but even then people were just reusing Julia's processes. Don't know about the state of errors, but I'd expect noticable improvements there as well, as with most new languages. I'm anxious to one day come back to Julia, due to its focus on numerical computation, but at the moment it's somewhat counter-balanced by Python ecosystem's maturity.
