Fast Array Manipulation in Python: Since Numpy is the de facto standard for storing multi-dimensional data, any performance gain you see using librapid math kernels will need to be realized on data which probably started its life as a numpy array, and needs to be passed to another tool as a numpy array. Hopefully there will be (or already is?) a way to build a librapid array out of a numpy array without copying the data and vice versa. In fact I might suggest that librapid focus on the fast math operations and simply become an accelerator for numpy arrays. For instance, look at CuPy which provides GPU-implemented operations within a numpy-compatible API, and Bottleneck which simply provides fast C-based implementations of some otherwise slow parts of Numpy. Also note that numpy *can* be multi-threaded depending on the operation and some environment variables. Single-threaded to Single-threaded I think you will be hard-pressed to beat Numpy on general math operations, but that doesn't mean there aren't specific "kernels" that are more specialized that can be greatly improved with a C++ back-end.
