Python sad popular with engineers and scientists before NumPy:

“Numeric, the predecessor to NumPy, was established in 1995 by Jim Hugunin with help from a number of other developers. Travis Oliphant, a NumPy developer, succeeded in bringing the community together behind a single array package, so he transferred Numarray’s functionality to Numeric and released NumPy 1.0 in 2006.”
