> The whole scientific computing world runs on Python

If you ignore the majority of scientific code running on supercomputers doing most of science in C++ and Fortran.

Even in areas where python is used, the majority of the compute runs on C/C++/Fortran, with a little python as glue.

If you think numpy (written in c/c++) murders c/c++ code, you should learn about HPC, where really high performance happens. They don't use numpy.
