I've come to the realization that the real relationship of Python and Numpy is not a language/library relationship, but a script/engine relationship, similar to writing scripts in a game or map editor. Numpy is not just a helping hand to python; instead, it is this efficient, giant, comprehensive engine, and python is merely the interface used to feed it data, operate it, and read from it. Of course, under the hood, it's still just language and library. But the mental model is quite different.
