Metaphorically speaking, this blog post is about a frog trying to climb out of a well, a damp and unsightly corner of the HDF5 ecosystem called HDF5.NET. People who know more about its genesis tell us that it was never intended as what it became to be perceived as, an “aspirational” .NET interface for HDF5 that would one day be complete and fully supported. Be that as it may, it’s important to ask, “What can we do today to better serve the needs of the .NET community?” We believe, as the title suggests, we need to take a step back to move forward.
