There is definitely a gap, and I don't think that Arrow tries to fill that. But I don't think that its wrong to have multiple implementations doing the same thing right? We have PostgresQL vs MySQL, both seem valid choices to me.
A SQL like query engine has its place. An in memory DataFrame also has its place. I think the wide-spread use of pandas proves that. I only think we can do that more efficient.
With regard to C++ vs Rust arrow. The memory underneath is the same, so having an implementation in both languages only helps more widespread adoption IMO.
- lordgroff 6y agoThank you for your work! I've decided to kick the tires after reading your Python book, I think you understimate the clarity of the API you have exposed which, honestly, looks a fair bit more sane than the tangled web that pandas is.
- ritchie46 6y agoThanks, I feel so too. There is still a hope work to do. I hope that I can also bridge the gap regarding utility and documentation.
