Happy to see activity around Polars. This has been my go-to library for data processing due to the enhanced ergonomics compared to Pandas and SQL.

But they were a bit quiet lately, and I started looking more and more into DuckDB recently… until the recent acquisition of DuckLab by AWS

I've been using clickhouse-local for quite some time, instead of DuckDB. There is also chDB.

After using pandas for 10 years, I favor SQL now, for some reason.

		Maybe because it's like a swiss army knife for data work, regardless of whether you need it for OLTP or OLAP workloads. Having different SQL dialects is a bit annoying, but the base is the same more or less, so switching doesn't come at too big of a cost.

		As a huge duckdb fan, I'd love to see chDB to get proper windows support - that would make it real competition (having WASM coverage is already a big step) which would be good for the space as a whole.
