In my opinion, it's an unfortunate accident that Python became popular for numerical / data-ey workloads. It's good for some things, but fast low-overhead loopy code is definitely not one of them!

CPython, yeah :\

I wish the pypy team had finished numpypy. Then fast numerical programs could be written in python instead of relying on all kinds of C extensions and stuff. Python would be great for numerics then.
