I could have sworn that Continuum had gov't funding for numpy development, but maybe that was just for Blaze?

- joejev 9y agohttps://www.continuum.io/blog/news/continuum-wins-darpa-xdata-funding https://www.continuum.io/blog/news/continuum-wins-darpa-xdat... It was blaze and bokeh. The description of blaze given in the article is pretty out of date at this point.
- travisoliphant 9y agoContinuum co-founder here and previous NumPy developer. We received funding for Bokeh and also explorations around scalable "NumPy-like" work. The efforts around Blaze produced Numba, Dask, and Datashape as well as a more limited in scope library called Blaze. While we continue to develop those things, we are working on taking the core ideas in NumPy and creating a set of lower-level C and Python libraries that could be used by pandas, xarray, Numba, dask, arrow, and potentially NumPy: https://github.com/plures https://github.com/plures. This work is not directly related to the NumPy funding.
- thearn4 9y agoThanks for the clarification, Travis, that's pretty exciting to hear.
