To me a scientific library need to be HPC oriented, able
- to perform // computation on CPU or GPU
- to use divide and conquer strategy in order to compute over 
multinode
- to have dataframe features
- to have scipy features
A such library would be awesome as at these time python slowness 
become more and more important as data grow exponentially year 
after year
