There was a discussion about “implementing numpy in Julia” a while ago which might be of interest, Stefan wrote a nice summary of why you couldn’t just “run Python in Julia” to speed things up back then: [How hard would it be to implement Numpy.jl, i.e. Numpy in Julia? - #56 by StefanKarpinski](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-hard-would-it-be-to-implement-numpy-jl-i-e-numpy-in-julia/22080/56)
