This is partially fixed in Julia 0.5 (or available now as BaseTestNext.jl in Julia 0.4). Its basically a backwards-compatible rewrite of the former Base.Test that adds the notion of test sets - enabling counting tests by default, but also not immediately failing out on the first bad test and even logging.

StaffJoy (https://www.staffjoy.com/) are using Julia for staff schedule optimization, and a large multinational is using it for train schedule optimization. Its also in use (at least on a trial basis) in the financial sector.

It'd still be a fairly large risk to develop something built-to-last on Julia at this point, so not really the best time for most companies to jump in unless something about Julia really solves a problem they are having.
