Seems dubious to me:

julia> iswritable("/")
true

shell> ls -la /
total 142
drwxr-xr-x  24 root root  4096 jun 11 09:16 .
shell> whoami
tlycken

`tlycken` is a sudoer, but if I start the REPL as `sudo julia`, `;whoami` 
returns `root`, so I don't think that's the problem.

This seems hard to know without also seeing the output of `ls -l /`
