<p>This page provides an overview of development priorities for NumPy.
Specifically, it contains a roadmap with a higher-level overview, as
well as NumPy Enhancement Proposals (NEPs)—suggested changes
to the library—in various stages of discussion or completion (see <a class="reference external" href="nep-0000">NEP
