Hi,
a lot of people think that C (or C++) is faster than python, yes I agree,
but I think that's not the case with numpy, I believe numpy is faster than
C, at least in some cases.
My understanding is that numpy is written in C, so for it to be faster
than C, you are saying that C is faster that C.
The key point is that numpy was written by skilled programmers who
carefully optimized their code to be as fast as possible for the major
cases. Thus it is quite possible for the numpy code to be faster in C
than code written by a person without that level of care and effort.
There are similar package available for many languages, including C/C++
to let mere mortals get efficient numerical processing.
