I'm using Julia instead of Python for NLP and it's great. If I need a python library I just use PyCall and so far it has worked flawlessly.

Can you say a bit about the advantages of each? I'm just starting to learn deep learning and planning to use it for NLP. I'm taking the python-based fast.ai course. But I'm tempted by the elegance of Julia.
If you're starting you should use Python and when you have a more solid grasp you can switch to Julia. That's mostly due to the fact that there are much more tutorials and resources for dl in python.
