Show HN: NumPy+Jax Except with Named Axes
If this idea sounds inderesting, you might want to look at xarray for a more established project: https://github.com/pydata/xarray

Spectral Imaging Made Easy: A Powerful Python Library
Interesting - I'm curious whether you feel that Xarray covers these use cases already?

Especially as I've said before that Hyperspy shares so many features in common with Xarray that Hyperspy should just use Xarray under the hood.

State of Python 3.13 Performance: Free-Threading
Sadly, several python projects do not use semantic versioning, for example xarray [0] and dask. Numpy can make backward incompatible changes after a warning for two releases[1]. In general, the python packaging docs do not really read as an endorsement of semantic versioning [2]:
> A majority of Python projects use a scheme that resembles semantic versioning. However, most projects, especially larger ones, do not strictly adhere to semantic versioning, since many changes are technically breaking changes but affect only a small fraction of users...

Request for Startups: Climate Tech
PyTorch and JAX are used heavily in climate science on the ML side. For more general analytics, not so much. Many of our users like to use Xarray as a high-level API. There has been some work to integrate Xarray with PyTorch (https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3232) but we're not there yet.
The Python Array API standard should help align these different back-ends: https://data-apis.org/array-api/latest/

Python for Data Analysis, 3rd Edition – The Open Access Version Online
Does polars have N-D labelled arrays, and if so can it perform computations on them quickly? I've been thinking of moving from pandas to xarray [0], but might consider poplars too if it has some of that functionality.
