I am certainly hoping that Chapel will be the language to
displace NumPy for serious computation in the Python-sphere.
Given it's foundation in the PGAS model, it has all the
parallelism needs, both cluster and local, built in. Given
Chapel there is no need to look at C++, D, Rust, Cython, etc.
I care about performance, but also about productivity. Chapel
still has some ways to go on the latter. Also, they are still in
the early stages of GPU support, I think.
