alt Hacker NewsCheck out polars- I find it much more intuitive than pandas as it looks closer to SQL (and I learned SQL first). Maybe you'll feel the same way!

Agreed — I much prefer polars, too. IIRC the latest major version of pandas even introduced some polars-style syntax.

I've looked at Polars. My sense is that Pandas is an interactive data analysis library poorly suited to production uses, and Polars is the other way around. Seemed quite verbose for example. Sometimes doing `series["2026"]` is exactly the right thing to type.
