Check out polars- I find it much more intuitive than pandas as it looks closer to SQL (and I learned SQL first). Maybe you'll feel the same way!

- Lyngbakr 6mo agoAgreed — I much prefer polars, too. IIRC the latest major version of pandas even introduced some polars-style syntax.
- rich_sasha 6mo agoI've looked at Polars. My sense is that Pandas is an interactive data analysis library poorly suited to production uses, and Polars is the other way around. Seemed quite verbose for example. Sometimes doing `series["2026"]` is exactly the right thing to type.
- entropicdrifter 6mo agoYou can do that in Polars, too
- mwexler 6mo agoWith some of the newest 3.x changes like copy-on-write, I find pandas getting quite verbose now as well. In a world where AI is writing the code, I guess I shouldn't complain, but when I am discovering something the ai of choice yet again missed, both pandas and polars still feel verbose and lacking sugar.
