Pandas does seem to be on the out if I'm being honest, and thats coming from someone who has invested heavily in it (backend for my project http://gluedata.io/ http://gluedata.io/). JMO I would happily adopt Polars if the feature set is expansive enough. Pandas is great because its so ubiquitous but I have always felt that it was slow (especially coming from R). One thing that is weirdly terrible in pandas is data types. The coupling with numpy is awkward. Its so dependent on numpy and if pandas isn't moving fast numpy isn't moving at all. I'd be curious to see how Polars handles this. e.g. Null values, datatimes etc.
