Hi Matti, hi Lev, that‘s cool there are numbers on Python usage! According to those, Windows might still be around quite a while. Would be interesting to include options like „Windows (native)“ and „Windows (WSL)“ for future surveys.
Windows is the main operating system I‘m working with most of the time because I need Office almost daily and it is not too much of an impact thanks to WSL. Many might be locked in to use Windows by company policies - my company is fortunately not too strict. That might explain a good portion of the high Windows usage. So meanwhile we might need to engineer everything at least twice: Windows and Linux (and some modifications for MacOS once in a while). Or engineer something wait until someone else complains. I can check Lev‘s article on a Windows Python later. Let‘s see, maybe they have meanwhile fixed that HDF issue. int32 would probably be the default if it‘s a 32 bit Python installation. There are still so many 32 bit programs around on Windows - quite scary in 2021 where probably almost every smartphone is 64 bit. > On 26.
