Right, but you would just link against the appropriate library, BLAS or whatever, that is hand-tuned for your platform and exposes a C API.


For the kind of problem where I can take that approach, I also have a python API onto BLAS, and guess which I prefer to write my programs in.


There's nothing in the "Python way" that precludes dropping into C as and when it makes sense to do so. A C programmer is able to make that decision independently.
