Pytorch and tensorflow is pretty big. It implies all state of the art research code is not written in Julia, so it is a non-starter for any neural network based project.

That is just total nonsense. You can of course do neural network research without pytorch and tensorflow. Julia is especially good, with Flux being the most flexible Neural Network library which exists.

Pytorch and tensorflow are important and a very good reason to use python or C++, but those two being unavailable is more impactful for the industry, of course your research might need them, but it might very well not.
