[Numpy-discussion] Ndarray static typing: Order of generic types

[bas van beek]

Hey all,

With the recent merging of numpy/numpy#16759<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/16759> we're at the point where `ndarray` can be made generic w.r.t. its dtype and shape.
An open question which yet remains is to order in which these two parameters should appear (numpy/numpy#16547<https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/16547>):

*         `ndarray[Dtype, Shape]`

*         `ndarray[Shape, Dtype]`

There has been a some discussion about this question in issue 16547, but a consensus has not yet to be reached.
Most people seem to slightly preferring one option over the other.

Are there any further thoughts on this subject?

Regards,
Bas van Beek
