Provo, Austin, Baltimore, Paris and Mountain View, 1995 to 2024. Two rival Python array packages split a small scientific community in half, and one assistant professor at Brigham Young University spent a year of unpaid nights writing a third that absorbed both. NumPy shipped in 2006. Fourteen years later a Nature paper counted it under the first image of a black hole and the first gravitational wave. Nobody had paid for it. This is the account of what the scientific Python stack cost the people who built it — a tenure case, a consultancy, a distribution company, a startup, a French engineer's side project absorbed by Google — and of how long it took anyone with money to notice that an industry was standing on a volunteer's array object. Covers Travis Oliphant, Jim Hugunin, Eric Jones, Pearu Peterson, Peter Wang, François Chollet, Rajat Monga, Jeremy Howard, Space Telescope Science Institute, Enthought, Continuum Analytics, NumFOCUS, Google, fast.ai, and Moore Foundation.
