For what it's worth, that hasn't been my experience with Julia – I've found it easier to debug than Python, Scala, or Clojure (other languages I've used at jobs.)

The tooling makes it easy to tell which version of a method you're using, though that's rarely an issue in practice. And the fact that methods are open to extension makes it really easy to fix occasional upstream bugs where the equivalent has to wait for a library maintainer in Python.

500kloc Julia over 4 years, so not a huge codebase, but not trivial either.
