Grandparent is writing numerical code. I doubt that Go which has neither operator overloading nor built-in types such as vector/matrix will work here.

Neither operator overloading nor built-in numerical types are necessary (or arguably even useful) for scientific computing. Further, Python also lacks built-in vector/matrix types.
