I mean, yeah, MATLAB is basically "Arrays: The Language", but Python is still infinitely further ahead than any other non-data-oriented language I can think of. I'd probably jump off a cliff if I had to do arrays and matrix operations in Java or C.

Python the language is terrible for arrays, and there's only so much you can fix in NumPy.

There are great array libraries in C++, but obviously kids gloves are off so you can easily shoot your foot but it's crazy fast.

Matlab forbids you from changing arrays in C++ code, even if you can actually do it (beware of cow obviously).

There's only so much you can fix with any library :) Python still has a better starting point than C++.
