Python was first released in 1991, Julia in 2012. I think it may be too soon to call the race.
@mvirts
Problem with that logic is that python was essentially "reborn" at some point 2010-2012.
That's when scipy, pandas and notebooks all came together, and with early pandas putting python on the map more than some (cough - Guido - cough) are willing to admit.
Of course the maturity of the ecosystem by then is part of it ... but also pushing through the python 3 situation wasn't trivial and likely speaks to the momentum the science stack brought to the ecosystem.
