Apparently ESMValTool is moving to Iris (https://scitools-iris.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew/3.0.html#announcements)
"Congratulations to @bouweandela, @jvegasbsc, and @zklaus who recently became Iris core developers. They bring a wealth of expertise to the team, and are using Iris to underpin ESMValTool - “A community diagnostic and performance metrics tool for routine evaluation of Earth system models in CMIP”. Welcome aboard!"
That's good, but it's a little disappointing that there are still 2 competing tools (Iris and xarray) for doing much the same thing.
