I know. That's because most people have fallen off the path (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?OneTruePath). You haven't done it because either others have done it for you (NumPy) or you simply aren't perfecting anything that needs to scale; i.e. you don't really need to minimize memory or CPU consumption because you're working with toy problems relative to the power of most hardware these days.
