Any language has stumbling blocks. That's _really_ different from fundamental issues with the language. There is no working around most of the issues mentioned here.
I think a million and one posts on 1-based indexing and "why no OOP" or some perceived weakness of the modules system and other silly things like that have led to a base defensive attitude.
But this post is criticism from someone actively using the language, well thought out, and things that you can not work around. It includes real currently unresolvable pain points.
And it doesn't sound like the Julia lang team has a plan for how to address them. Or it's not communicating that plan. After all, the talk you link by Jeff Bezanson name checks many of the issues raised here two years ago, to then continue to not talk about them ever again.
