While I applaud Python to have established a well-designed[1] layer on top of the math/numeric libraries written in Fortran, C and C++, I hope that one day Rust will smoothen the corners. While Rust might not become a replacement for the Python layer, it may replace the C/C++/Fortran layer with all their speed and low-level optimization, yet provide good (and especially safe!) abstractions on top of that. Currently, people try to use C++ to fill that gap, but I'd love to see Rust's type system, borrow checker and macro system, instead of C++ templates. [1] As opposed to Mathematica, MatLab, etc.
