>> Python’s standard library sucks

Oh come on. That’s like saying “this buffet has no food selection but that’s good cause I’m on a diet”. Meaning that you like that it sucks (that’s fine).

Numpy is not the kind of thing you would include in the std lib anyway.

> OK sure, it is slower than compiled languages like C++, that is a concession we make when opting for the ease of readability, writability, usability, etc.

Fair, but I’ve spent enough time python environment/dependency hell that a lot of those gains (which are mostly cognitive) weren’t worth it for me.
