Not crazy at all. The core idea: free software should try to leverage the existing code base. In my view, the right way to do this would be to rely on NumPy. http://www.numpy.org/ This is feasible, would prove very user friendly, and has lots of useful stuff already in place. But the choice is not as important as *a* choice.
