+1 for APL integration!  ;o)

Numpy is nice, but can't touch APL... 
...of course, it wasn't a challenge to write an obfuscated one-liner in
APL - it was standard practice!

IBM 650 anyone? Punched card i/o. 2000 word drum memory ( each word = 10

decimal digits).
First language: machine language.
Then assembler and a precursor of Basic called Classmate.
PL/I
Then the first breath of fresh air: APL. A lot like Python in that it 
made programming a LOT easier.
On and on ...
Now Python.
Still longing for a way to integrate some aspects of APL into Python.
