    This is great! I hope somebody adopts and publishes such a package.

    There are some pieces of widely used software (numpy, git, regex...) that are very powerful but can be highly complex, to a point where reading them is much harder than writing them with trial and error. I hope we see more projects like this, that add layers on top of those, to make them readable without making them less performant.

    (Such projects likely exist already, of course, so they just need to be polished and spread)
