Lots of great statistical and NLP libraries are written in Python. I'd actually argue Python is one of the few languages without a great alternative for certain niches right now.

Then have a look at Julia, you can use all those libraries from Julia and its own as well.

Interop comes in many flavors. If I were to consider Julia a replacement for Python, I'd need to know that Julia can interop seamlessly with it, like Kotlin can with Java.

How do you feel about the user experience for Julia/Python interop?

I can only tell you that I consider it excellent and that I would rather use Julia with PyCall than Python.

Julia has an excellent interop story with many languages. Probably C, Fortran and Python are the most polished.
