I think multiple dispatch will scale perfectly fine for large projects when it has better IDE support.

There's no reason Juno or any other IDE couldn't display the output of a static analyser inline, or allow you to command-click a function call to go to the site of the exact function being called, or show a list of alternatives, and so on.

Give Julia and its IDEs a few years to improve and you might find it much better suited to large projects. I wouldn't consider Java any good for large projects either, if it didn't have the excellent IDE support it now enjoys.
