Are there any pandas alternatives that offer stronger column typing? Ideally something where I can have the schema defined in advance, validate the data, then have the type checker be smart enough to know that df.foo exists and is float and df.bar doesn't.

I tried pandera and it left a lot to be desired. Static frame [1] seems promising but doesn't appear to be popular for some reason.
