- It integrates just about every open source math library into a

moved to python. R, for example has rpy. The entire GSL (Gnu
Science Library) has pygsl. Somehow numpy/scipy/matplotlib all got
rationally integrated as the matrix/plotting underpinnings.
As a user one might think Python, but the implementations are still
reference ones (e.g. non-Python).
I think this is the way to go. It's crazy to reimplement huge swaths of
functionality every time a slightly better language comes along..
Especially delicate codes like this.
