Folks,
  this might interest language / lib designers, although it has nothing to do with Python --

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-array-building-blocks-documentation
    "October 2012: This WhatIf project has been retired"
    Downloads are gone, but there are a couple of papers under
    http://scholar.google.de/scholar?as_q="array+building+blocks"

http://nonchalantlytyped.net/blog/2010/09/26/deconstructing-intels-array-building-blocks/
is good:
    "... stylized [vector] programming.
    What the library writers are really saying is that,
    write your programs in a particular style,
    that clearly tells us what the [parallel] computation is,
    and we will take care of the grunt work for you.
    ... really embedding a special domain specific language (DSL) in C++ ."

cheers
