I've outlined a wishlist item for a modern Rcpp wrapper for the NetCDF library:
https://github.com/RConsortium/wishlist/issues/3 I'd appreciate any advice from those with Rcpp expertise and knowledge of wrapping external libraries. Does NetCDF look particularly difficult to work with? Or, would it be reasonably straigtforward, but quite a lot of work? It's perhaps a bit wishful to expect anyone with those skills to offer to be involved, but it would be really helpful to at least have some thoughts - even just "that's crazy hard" or "way too easy", or anything in between. NetCDF is a general multi-dimensional array format, with metadata and slice-based index read - in modern forms (v4.0) it's based on HDF5. It's used for many kinds of data, but sees majority use (probably) in remote sensing and climate modelling. Thank you.
