Yuri's criticism was not that Julia has correctness bugs as a language, but that certain libraries when composed with common operations had bugs (many of which are now addressed).
I will recommend following the discussion on the Julia discourse here that is focussed on productively and constructively addressing the issues (while also discussing them in the right context):

Just like any other open source project, Julia has packages that get well adopted, well maintained, and packages that get abandoned, picked up later, alternatives sprout and so on. The widely used packages usually do not have this problem. Overall the trend is that the user base and contributor base are growing.
