I don't think the OCaml bindings for BLAS and LAPACK are close to the power and the ease of use of Numpy and Scipy. They provide all the facilities of Matlab with the power of a true programming language (even if I don't like Python). I would say there is a lot of of work to provide such a library with all the syntactic sugar needed to use it confortably but I'm sure that it would be really nice to have efficient and powerful matrix computation in a safe language.
