If I'm duplicating a benchmark [in another language] then the last thing
I want to see is something like 'import numpy', or other special
language feature, as that cannot be replicated.
I want to see a pure algorithm. Not the equivalent of:
os.system("C_version.exe")
The ability
to import Python wrappers of Fortran and C libraries is part of the
fundamental design of cpython. It is a distributed project.
Is numpy a general purpose C library that can also be called from any
language that can use a C API? Or is it specific to Python?
