I hate to be that guy, but all it says is that 'more progress has been made on the NumPy compatibility front'. Progress is great, but am I missing something news worthy here? Is this a milestone when I can run my numpy 1.4 compatible processing code on pypy?
I think the way to the HN frontpage is completely random. PyPy 2.2 release (which features incremental GC and a bunch of cool stuff) was not newsworthy, a random, not very significant progress report is.
Is there more background context for this? I recently have been getting into numpy and wondering what I'm missing. So I'm curious about this post, but wanting more information.
