📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

README.md was substantially reorganized into a comprehensive project guide. The opening tagline now emphasizes "Rust-powered arrays for Python," and content was restructured from a minimal outline into detailed sections covering positioning, vision and roadmap, quick start instructions, technical architecture and design principles, project status, contribution guidelines, and licensing.

Changes

README Comprehensive Rewrite

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project positioning and overview
README.md
Opening tagline and initial sections reframed mohu as a Rust-powered, NumPy-compatible array system in early exploration, with new "Overview" and "Why This Exists" sections replacing prior short-form rationale.
Vision, roadmap, and planned features
README.md
Roadmap section formalized with updated feature bullets (Rayon parallelism, Arrow memory model, zero-copy PyO3 bindings, SIMD), and Planned Features subsection consolidated earlier items into a clearer structure.
Quick start guide with build instructions
README.md
New Quick Start section provides step-by-step instructions (clone, install, build with maturin, sample Python snippet) with a prominent note that APIs are unstable.
Architecture, design principles, and project status
README.md
Architecture table maps technology components to roles; Design Principles section articulates four foundational approaches (Parallel by Default, Zero-Copy, Interoperability, Performance); Project Status table presents feature areas and their development state.
Contributing guidelines and legal
README.md
Contributing section provides guidance on valuable contributions and concrete developer workflow with git commands; License and Important Note sections clarify experimental status and confirm non-drop-in-replacement nature.

Inline comments:
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 67-69: Replace the placeholder git clone URL in the README where
the command currently uses https://github.com/<your-fork>/mohu.git (occurrences
around the clone snippets at lines ~67 and ~169–171) with the canonical
repository URL (the main upstream repo) so the copy/paste onboarding works; also
add a short optional note immediately after each clone snippet explaining how
contributors who fork the repo can instead clone their fork (i.e., mention
replacing the URL with their fork) and optionally include the git remote add
upstream workflow as a helpful tip.
- Around line 79-83: Replace the bare pip invocation in the README ("pip install
maturin") with an interpreter-scoped call using the active Python interpreter
(e.g., "python -m pip install maturin") so the installation targets the correct
environment; update the README line that currently contains "pip install
maturin" to use "python -m pip install maturin" (or suggest "python3 -m pip"
where appropriate) and keep the surrounding_installation context intact.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace placeholder clone URL with a runnable default command.

Line 67 and Line 169 use https://github.com/<your-fork>/mohu.git, which breaks copy/paste onboarding. Prefer the canonical repo URL, and add an optional note for fork-based contribution flow.

Suggested doc patch
- git clone https://github.com/<your-fork>/mohu.git
+ git clone https://github.com/mohu-org/mohu.git
  cd mohu
- git clone https://github.com/<your-fork>/mohu.git
+ git clone https://github.com/mohu-org/mohu.git
  cd mohu

Also applies to: 169-171

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use interpreter-scoped pip invocation for reliability.

Line 82 should prefer python -m pip install maturin to avoid installing into the wrong Python environment.

Suggested doc patch
- pip install maturin
+ python -m pip install maturin

@Bbn08 - it looks like the Format and Unused Deps checks are failing on the main branch, as my PR only contains changes to the README.
