For example, we don't have a good way to handle missing values.

Also, in my experience, non-structured arrays are a nicer to work with in most cases, and a tool like xarray makes it pretty easy to unpack non-structured arrays into multiple arrays in a `Dataset`, possibly with different dimensions.

That said, we've added some work arounds in the past to ensure that structured arrays work in xarray, and I would be happy to accept contributions to write them to netCDF files. I'm sure there are others who would also find this useful.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,264582338
