but for scientific computing with numbers - the author's target audience - dynamic typing is the main bottleneck.

  Boxing and memory locality are the the main bottlenecks in scientific computations with Python, dynamic typing is orthogonal.

    If a language is dynamically typed, it is very likely that it will use boxing, so they do not seem orthogonal to me.
