NuMojo V0.2 Release: Simplified Type Handling, New Features, and Enhanced Compatibility

[hushed mesa]

We’re excited to announce NuMojo V0.2, featuring significant improvements and new features. This update simplifies data type management by removing in_dtype and out_dtype parameters and introduces Rust-like data type aliases (e.g., f64). Function overloads were implemented in arithmetic to allow easy symmetric usage of NDArray and Scalar types.

Array operations have seen major enhancements, including the introduction of the diagflat() method for creating diagonal arrays, improved slicing functionality that aligns with NumPy, and added boolean masking for NDArrays. The NDArray constructor now supports string array initialization, making array creation easier.

Documentation has been expanded with an updated README, improved function docstrings, and a new style guide. We’ve also introduced new test files compatible with the mojo test framework, improving NuMojo’s reliability.

NuMojo V0.2 is compatible with Mojo 24.4 and requires no external dependencies.

While magic is getting worked on, is the recommendation for development to build a mojopkg of the dependency and place it in the source tree?

[hushed mesa]

That has been what I have been doing, apparently there are some issues with slices from mojopkgs on Mac computers.

Probably git submodules for now.
