Let’s take for example some popular python libraries used in math and machine learn to illustrate that point: Numpy (33.2% of the code is written in C) TensorFlow (61% of the code is written in C++) PyTorch (53% of the code in written in C++ and 4% in C) The raison that these libraries are build in C and/or C++ is for performance issues mainly, also it is important to note that Python is written in C, hence it provides a C API to extend the language by creating new modules at lower-level possible.
