Thanks for the context!

This.
In PDAL's (albeit unusual) usage, we pass
GEOS is pretty tied to the interleaved representation. LIke JTS, it uses
Coordinate struct to pass around coordinates, with fields for X, Y, and Z
values. If we wanted to support a separate-array representation, we'd
either need to either change our Coordinate struct to store pointers to the

We are currently having a discussion about interleaved (XYXY) vs separate
arrays (XX YY) in the GeoArrow context (
https://github.com/geopandas/geo-arrow-spec/pull/26), and I was wondering
if the GEOS developers have thoughts on that topic (whether it was ever
specifically discussed if the current
This has come up a few times and despite some pushback from users [1] I
agree that the benefits of the simplification probably outweigh the costs.
Replacing CoordinateSequence with a concrete implementation is top on my
list for the GDAL grant work [2] that I will be available to begin on
