Why is Python, not Julia, still used for most state-of-the-art AI research?

From a thread about CSV:

CSV Reader Benchmarks: Julia Reads CSVs 10-20x Faster than Python and R

Other than a few missing features, there are projects in both languages that are already there: python, R.

CSV Reader Benchmarks: Julia Reads CSVs 10-20x Faster than Python and R

My recollection of history there was Chris was trying to publish a paper about DifferentialEquations.jl. And it got rejected because “it is in an obsure language noone will use it”, and in a weekend of pique, Chris coded up the python and R wrappers. So that one reviewer probably did more to advance the cause of DE solving in R and Python than many R or Python programmer working in the area ever have.

It seems it’s common that in order to get a paper more valued, you have to use the current standard language of the field (i.e. Python).
