[Numpy-discussion] Switching default order to column-major

2023-11-11 Thread Valerio De Benedetto 
Hi, I found that the documented default row-major order is enforced throughout 
the library with a series of `order='C'` default parameters, so given this I 
supposed there's no way to change the default (or am I wrong?)
If, supposedly, I'd change that by patching the library (substituting 'C's for 
'F's), do you think there would by any problem with other downstream libraries 
using numpy in my project? Do you think they assume a default-constructed array 
is always row-major and access the underlying data?

Nobody expects the column major arrays.
