I saw a presentation about Blaze at PyData. The CEO of Continuum was the author of Numpy and said they are doing everything he would have done differently in Blaze.

Also, Blaze is attempting to abstract the concept of having huge arrays distributed across multiple systems, clusters, clouds, whatever. So imagine having large distributed arrays that you can easily perform computations on. Could be very powerful if it works as planned.
