Yeah, this is similar to my experience. I used to like the language a lot but there are many aspects of it that are a hindrance to productivity. I think Swift with the best bits of Julia would be the perfect general purpose language. Some people think multiple dispatch is a killer feature but in langauges like Swift, extensions are a much neater approach.
