The article is a nice comparison of pros and cons of Pandas and SQL, but the title and ensuing comments are misleading and off the point, akin to favorite arguments like "is Haskell types just C++ objects"? They have similar and differences, in core semantics and in ergonomics. Pandas has a perlish API designed for abbreviating common tasks, combined with a Pythonic (per common practice, despite being against Putin's stated principles) disregard for informative use of types, instead a simple coherent, principled, layered API. That makes it look like "SQL done wrong" because the semantic differences aren't laid out explicitly.
