Why though? polars sounds like the rewrite! It’s okay to cycle into a new library. Let pandas do its thing and polars slowly take over as new projects overtake. There is nothing wrong with this and it happens all the time.

Like jquery, which hasn’t fundamentally changed since I was a wee lad doing web dev. They didn’t make major changes despite their approach to web dev being replaced by newer concepts found on angular, backbone, mustache, and eventually react. And that is a good thing.

What I personally don’t want is something like angular that basically radically changed between 1.0 and 2.0. Might as well just call 2.0 something new.

Note: I’ve never heard of polars until this comment thread. Can’t wait to try it out.
