I don't miss OOP in Julia but I do feel there need to be more ways to abstract things than multiple dispatch and structs. One thing I do miss is interfaces, which can group functions for a common purpose. I understand it may be not feasible in a dynamic language, but hopefully there will be something above functions as an abstraction mechanism.

Interfaces are not currently defined in the language but socially if you are lucky the package whose abstract type you subtype has a generic test you can call with your new implementation but that is not the standard.
