I'm not clear what your argument is. Many of your examples are just syntactical sugar which you can very easily ignore, and even prohibit in your linter.
Also, note that pandas's datafrimes shine when you focus on column operations, if you're finding yourself accessing individual elements by index often, that's usually a sign that you should switch to a more appropriate data structure.

- falcor84 3y agoLooking at random people's code online is like staring into the abyss. I sometimes see APL code and find myself running in circles and screaming for a bit before I regain my composure, but I don't think that's reason enough for me to complain about APL's design.
- dist-epoch 3y agoThere are alternatives to Pandas, for example Polars doesn't have this problem. Sure, doing an operation in Polars can be more verbose, but it really does have just a few ways of doing things. Which in the end is actually more productive, since you don't need to always google the syntax.
