1) avoid the privacy issues of Android & iOS 2) have the confidence that as long as their hardware work, they will have updates 3) buy from a brand that will allow you (or a third party) to fix your hardware (Pine64 sells you spare parts, and at reasonable prices!) 4) have an user-replaceable battery 5) have an affordable smartphone (I know, there are 30$ android phones but they tick none of the above points)
The points 2 to 4 will interest an increasing number of people this century, imo

Alma was founded 41 years ago as an operation research company working on sheet nesting for CAM (have a look at the demo of our saas offer: https://demo.powernestlib.com/ ). Over the years Alma has been diversifying into other areas such as sheet cutting, 3D robots programming (e.g. for welding), IT services and health-care: https://www.alma.fr/en/
Alma is a cooperative: a new employee becomes an associate one year after joining. All shareholders are employees and at the shareholder meeting each associate has 1 vote (regardless of their seniority/capital).
You must speak French or be willing to learn it: English would be ok for technical discussions but less practical for coffe-break discussions, shareholders meetings, etc. We may be able to help for visas. Our offers (in French): https://recrutement.alma.fr/listeoffre.asp Please use this page to candidate to an offer, or contact rh AT alma.fr and mention that you are coming from HN.
That said I may use matplotlib much less than you do (I used it a lot when I was a student, now maybe 6 times a year).
Also there a few model of cases on ebay/aliexpress that would be interesting to test such as https://m.aliexpress.com/item/4000509636456.html (with a heatsink added)
Mono remains the best (only?) solution to call C# from C++ in a crossplatform way using embedding.
