What build tools would you use with it?

I don't think those sorts of things are a good use case for Julia. Julia is best used for deploying backend mathematics. I'm just suggesting the type system is beautiful, and if someone wanted to implement a more general purpose language with that type system it might be welcome.

How is julia or it's type system not suitable for general purpose programming? Multidispatch seems like a generalization of python...and fields don't have to be typed.
