Pandas vs Polars

Introduction

Everyone loves the API of Pandas. It’s fast, easy, and well documented. There are some rough edges, but most times, it’s just a blast.

Now, when it comes to production, Pandas is slightly trickier. Pandas does not scale very well… there is no multithreading… It’s not thread-safe… It’s not memory efficient.

But all those problems are the raison d’être of Rust.

What if, there was a DataFrame API written in Rust that solves all those issues and at the same time keeps a nice API?
