Thanks for this! With regards to numba timing, is numba 0.57.1 waiting on on this release candidate? What’s the general timeline you expect for 0.57.1? (days, weeks, months?)

Thank you for asking about this!

Numba 0.57.1rc1 is almost ready for pre-tag testing. I.e. testing what would be tagged, before tagging. I am hoping to get that rc1 out on Monday and the final maybe a week or two later (depending on if and how many more regressions are detected).

I’ve tested with cuDF branch-23.08 in conjunction with Numba 0.57.1rc1 and all appears well.
