Julia 1.0 was released in late 2018. I think it would be irresponsible to design valuable or mission critical systems with a language still undergoing that much change. I expect we’ll start to see the sorts of valuable systems you refer to start to surface in the near future if Julia is getting traction. Full disclosure: I don’t currently use Julia but I’m interested in spending some time with it this year. I primarily use MATLAB in my day-to-day life. I like Python as a general purpose language but find the syntax of Python+NumPy a little clunky for what I do. I don’t really feel that Julia falls outside of mainstream programming paradigms anymore than something like MATLAB.
