alt Hacker News> No, polars or spark is not a good answer, those are optimized for data engineering performance, not a holistic approach to data science.
Can you expand on why Polars isn't optimised for a holistic approach to data science?

I have not work with Polars, but I would imagine any incompatibility with existing libraries (e.g. plotting libraries like plotnine, bokeh) would quickly put me off.
It is a curse I know. I would also choose a better interface. Performance is meh to me, I use SQL if i want to do something at scale that involves row/column data.
