Hi Nathan,
thank you for your great work on UTF8 strings and their integration in Numpy.
This is a very important dtype to support, especially with the widespread use
of large language models (LLM) nowadays.
However, I would like to comment on the serialization. Hope it's not too late
at this p
I just opened a draft PR to include stringdtype in numpy:
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/25347
If you are interested in testing the new dtype but haven't had the chance
yet, hopefully this should be easier to test. From a clone of the NumPy
repo, doing:
$ git fetch https://github.com/ngoldba
