  > Interactive examples have been added to the documentation, allowing users to run the examples locally on embedded Jupyterlite notebooks in their browser.

  This might sound strange, but to me this is pretty exciting.

  I've been looking for ways to include _interactive_ Python scripts on static webpages (such as those made using Jupyter Book [1] or Quarto [1]. Up to now the only way I knew how to run Jupyter notebooks on those pages was through, e.g., Binder or Google Colab or some other separate hosted service. I was at the point of giving up on Python and simply learning Javascript.

  But now it seems that Pyodide [3] and Jupyterlite [4] are filling that gap. I'm looking forward to trying this out on some static websites.

  I am not well versed in the upcoming / in progress 2.0 releases for numpy but it looks fairly large in scope.
