DuckDB is a convenient drop-in for OLAP in the way that SQLite is for OLTP, it's a great library. Python's death on the vine as a data analytics platform cannot come fast enough. There's a reason people are abandoning pandas and spark/databricks in droves and fleeing to useful SQL-like tooling such as Snowflake. Once this tech bubble bursts, and the tens-of-thousands of subsidized Python-packing data scientists/engineers/analysts get laid off, the language will return to what it should be: another scripting language that generates SQL for talking to a real data engine.
