  providing operators for linear algebra (and probably complex/quaternion) is a really important feature for any languages from this point in history going forward.
This is why I have started using Fortran for writing AI model inference code. It natively handles array manipulation like python and has a `matmul` intrinsic and compiles into fast code. There are some rough edges, but it's great as a low level matrix programming language which was its original point.
