Should meshgrid return a list or a tuple of coordinate arrays?

[ev-br]

The spec stipulates that meshgrid returns a list of arrays, https://data-apis.org/array-api/draft/API_specification/generated/array_api.meshgrid.html

NumPy and Pytorch, however, return tuples. Jax and CuPy return lists. Makes me wonder if specifying a list is a conscious decision: I seem to recall that tuples are generally more JIT-friendly.

@ev-br The spec likely reflects pre-NumPy v2.0. See https://numpy.org/doc/1.26/reference/generated/numpy.meshgrid.html and https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/v1.26.0/numpy/lib/function_base.py#L5163.

So it might be worth revisiting this in the spec then.
