Discusson about array api

[zerothi]

I tried searching the issues for array-api, to no avail.

There has been quite a bit of work related to developing a standardized api for array creating/handling etc.

This might be a good candidate for references and aligning api's and decisions.

I here provide a link to the data-apis/array-api repo which specifies the API: https://github.com/data-apis/array-api/

Here's a link directly to the API specification: https://data-apis.org/array-api/latest/API_specification/index.html

Fortran already supports many of these routines. Some of the items however don't really match the semantics of Fortran when compared with how they are used in Python array libraries.
