True, but also if Polars and DuckDB offer a similar experience with the ability to scale beyond that range, why not use them (for new projects)?

This isn't a call to arms to rewrite everything in the new shiny, just consider the new shiny for new shiny things

Not to mention less footguns. I used to spend my days unwinding bad habits DS pick up from years of panda abuse.

Credit to pandas for popularizing dataframes in Python, but polars and duckdb are objectively better APIs in addition to their implementation improvements. Agree that it’s time we let it go.

		Yes, this was something I emphasised more in the slides / my actual talk. But it's just significantly easier to reason about the APIs for both DuckDB and Polars
