That particular function sits on top of what I imagine is considerable infrastructure and translating it into idiomatic Julia would take some time. Effective Julia code is usually based on thoughtful definitions of a hierarchy of types and methods. The S3 style of programming in R usually needs considerable refactoring to become idiomatic Julia. Having a formula type is the least of the issues here.
