But if you can install matlab or torch you'd do that instead right? Which gets back to the whole restrictive IT thing where you don't have those tools. In fact the only full featured languages on the machine are javascript in the browser and vba. VBA is about 11 times faster than numpy for dense matrix math as it is compiled, and all the support math libraries like nonlinear solvers and whatnot are in dlls that were native coded, but with a lower ffi penalty than python. VBA is really a very underrated mathematical language that is mostly used for horrifically architected mission critical CRUD applications.
