Ah, thanks for these! But I see nothing has changed. * pyfive is interesting but immature and doesn't seem to have any cloud bucket support * h5s3 is an abandoned experiment that hasn't been touched in two years * h5py is fine but again, no cloud support * kita is a commercial offering from the HDF Group and -- I cannot stress this enough -- these people are shockingly incompetent; plus when I last looked at their system architecture diagram I thought it was a joke (well, I thought it was an intentional joke)

Efficient access to scientific datasets hosted on S3/GCP is a full blown crisis in the scientific computing community. People aren't switching to zarr for the fun of it, but because zarr is here, today, and isn't a joke, and is actually open.
