Idk numpy go brrrrrrrrrr. I think it's more just the right tool for the right job. Most languages have areas they excel at, and areas where they're weaker, siloing yourself into one and thinking it's faster for every implementation seems short sighted.

At it's heart, numpy is C tho. That's exactly what I'm talking about. Python is amazing glue code. It makes this fast code more useful by wrapping it in simple(r) scripts and classes.
