With the recent release of NumPy 2.0, the NumPy maintainers are looking for feedback on the release. Are there issues that are blocking your ability to migrate to using NumPy 2.0? Are there things you wish we had fixed or changed but didn't make it into the 2.0 release? Any changes you really don't like? Please come and let us know. Your feedback will directly influence how NumPy 2.1 looks and how we manage major releases in the future.
I am a software engineer at Quansight Labs where I help maintain NumPy and contribute to open source software on behalf of consulting clients. My background is in astrophysics, I completed my PhD in 2015 at UC Santa Cruz and worked as a postdoc and research scientist at the University of Illinois. During my academic career I become increasingly involved in community open source projects, contributing to projects across the scientific python ecosystem and as a maintainer of the yt project. Since then I've transitioned from academia to industry, but I still believe strongly in open science and the importance of community research software to building reproducible scientific workflows.
