Re: 3, you can also use Python’s array.array in some circumstances. If you have heterogeneous types, don’t need multiple dimensions, and don’t need Fortran memory layout, they’re a good choice IMO, and one that doesn’t require pulling in 3rd party packages.

I have thought Python's arrays have been overlooked for years. So much so that people call a list an array.
