This is very true: Python has the masses of things built on Python and
NumPy today that make things easy to work with. My feeling is though
that NumPy is not going to survive the next revolution in workstation
and performance laptop hardware. Unless it absorbs the Chapel (or X10)
PGAS model. The fastest way of doing this is to ditch the NumPy
implementation and exchange it for either Chapel or something Chapel
inspired.
