I could never get used to Pandas as a former user of R’s tidyverse. The naming and syntax never really sticked with me. I find Polars’ API much easier to reason about, and it definitely feels closer to dplyr than Pandas. I still miss the pipe operator though.
- lvass 4y agoThere's a great polars wrapper for Elixir called Explorer if you want pipes.
- mutant_self 4y agoThere’s a tidypolars package that appears to be well-maintained https://github.com/markfairbanks/tidypolars https://github.com/markfairbanks/tidypolars
- psimm 4y agoI feel the same. The closest to tidyverse in Python I've seen is siuba, a neat wrapper around pandas. Tidypolars is great too. Lately, I've used DuckDB to write SQL that manipulates pandas data frames.
