Polars is certainly better than pandas doing things locally. But that is a low bar. I’ve not had great experience using Polars on large enough datasets. I almost always end up using duckdb. If I am using SQL at the end of the day, why bother starting with Polars? With AI these days, it’s ridiculously fast to put together performant SQLs. Heck you can even make your own grammar and be done with it.

you can use Ibis if you want a dataframe UI on top of DuckDB (or a number of other query engines, including Polars)
