NumPy has no Fortran code, for quite a long time now. SciPy has and it is being rewritten. What you mention is the ufunc machinery underneath which is all C. NumPy also has SIMD support (albeit limited to certain functions). BLAS is also C/Assembly but only LAPACK is F77 (which is too much code to be rewritten).

This does not mean Fortran is bad (obligatory disclaimer for Fortran fans).
