Thanks for this reply. I thought the "bizarre blind spot" comment was some sort of (absurd) thought that numpy users were unaware that C was being used under the hood.

Assuming that, like hardware engineers, scientists have a fair bit of general-purpose scripting to do, Julia will itself be part of a different kind of two-language solution unless it is up-to-snuff w.r.t. said general-purpose scripting. This implies libraries and good interaction with OS utilities. Any thoughts on whether or not this will be an issue with Julia?
