Sounds too much like an advertisement. Also we need to watch out when diving into Polars . Polars is VC backed Opensource project with cloud offering , which may become an opencore project - we know how those goes.

They get forked and stay open source? At least this is what happens to all the popular ones. You can't really un-open-source a project if users want to keep it open-source.
Depends on your definition of popular; plenty of examples where the business interests don't align well with open source.
I was also thinking that this comment looks like an AD. Pandas does not have any paid option and isn't made directly for profit.
To be fair, as someone who's fought pandas for many years I agree with basically everything they said. The API design for Polars is much, much more intuitive. It's a base R to dplyr level change.
