Anything with a hard or soft real-time constraint (audio, video, industrial automation, etc). You'd be shocked how many algorithmic prototypes are written in numpy then hand converted to C++ for realization.

NumPy releases GIL. I love NumPy myself and created complex interactive realtime synths. It always was more convenient to slap Cython or C code to achieve desired 100x performance instead of getting potentially 10x (4x on my laptop) with multithreading.
