I would imagine that first, we need improved multi-dimensional arrays. I've been imagining an updated version of Blitz++. See here for the C++ framework I've written. The good thing about it is, you just have to write things once, not 3 times (once each for define, write and read). https://github.com/citibeth/ibmisc/blob/develop/slib/ibmisc/netcdf.hpp I also would recommend replacing the existing C++ API. It's better than the old one, but still clunky and could be a lot better. Especially with modern templating.
