It’s not clear to me why this would be faster than polars, duckdb, vaex or clickhouse. They seem to be taking the same approach of multithreading, optimizing the plan, using arrow, optimizing the core functions like group by.

None of those drop-in replacements for Pandas. The main draw is "faster without changing your code".

Maybe it isn’t? Maybe they just want a fast pandas api?
