This session will be split in two parts. First we wish discuss Array API adoption into libraries, how to continue this work and what needs to be done. There has been a lot of progress in adoption across several libraries and interesting efforts like https://github.com/mdhaber/marray. What are patterns that work well or need improvement in the future?

In the second part, we want to discuss adoption of dispatching and backend selection across libraries. NetworkX has this for a long time and scikit-image has experimented with it in the past year. We plan on showing the spatch design, but wish to focus discussion on what the missing pieces are for libraries to adopt spatch or similar patterns.
