Coming from the excellent tidyverse or even data.table in R, Numpy always has felt like twenty steps back into mindfuck territory.

Numpy and tidyverse/data.table are not really on the same level of abstraction. Something like Pandas would be (and it definitely has its warts).

Doing the lower level stuff that NumPy is used for is really mindfuck territory in R.
