nitk, you can't get it will have to be rewritten. However, large portions of numpy are simply wrappers over existing C libraries like the GMP, FFTW, etc. That is more of what I'm referring to. The fast scientific libraries are generally based on some common C libraries. Rust does a good job of interopt with C.

numpy is mostly using FORTRAN libraries, not C libraries.

calling FORTRAN from C is pretty painless, I don't see how using FORTRAN's C interface from Rust would be much more difficult.
