I was in academic compsci/ai from 2001-2017 and it was entirely c++ and python in my department, except for one oldschool professor who used delphi.

Haha, there is always one :)

I feel like trying out various languages/frameworks would affect compsci labs a lot less than other fields, since the students probably have some foundational knowledge of languages and have already learned a few before getting there. Might be easier for them to pick up new ones.

At my University AI and ML were taught using Java. It was more handy to both teachers and students since most other courses used Java.
