I had never considered Julia as a general purpose language. I assumed it was targetted mainly at data science etc.

The core language is general purpose, and IMO really good for high-performance work, but the community is focused on numerical code, so there aren't a lot of libraries for non-numerical/scientific/financial work at this point in time.
