Re: NumPy 2.0
#3Any notable highlights for a consumer of Numpy who rarely interfaces directly with it? Most of my work is pandas+scipy, with occasionally dropping into the specific numpy algorithm when required.
I am much more of an "upgrade when there is a X.1" release kind of guy, so my hat off to those who will bravely be testing the version on my behalf.

The most important changes are deprecations of certain public APIs: https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/2.0.0-notes.html#deprecati...
One new interesting feature, though, is the support for string routines: https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/routines.strings.html#mo...

Sounds almost like they're building a language inside a language.

This is a draft. No release notes yet.

No. Native python ops in string suck in performance. String support is absolutely interesting and will enable abstractions for many NLP and LLM use cases without writing native C extensions.

Changed to that from https://pypi.org/project/numpy/ above. Thanks!

Yeah, operating on strings has historically been a major weak point of Numpy's. I'm looking forward seeing benchmarks for the new implementation.
