I guess it depends on the language. I use polars heavily with Python. It works really really well. It's not just faster than pandas, it's more ergonomic, more regular, more composable and less quirky.

I was using the Python csv library for a script but decided I should dig into the pandas DataFrame stuff instead.
It was more complex, and it took me awhile to figure things out, and I had to read a bunch of web pages explaining things.

I did not want to ask some AI/LLM for the answers, or to write the code for me.

So last week I asked people to share their blog URLs, and I got a whole bunch of them! And I’ve been trying to go through them, and some go back to 2015… So there’s a lot to do.

Nice to find interesting gems though, in the 1,500 (gulp!) blog posts I’m going through.

> Why isn’t there a . in the Python version number?

Finally put together type stubs for an old (last release 2017!) python library I've been depending on for years. And now wondering whether it would have been easier to just contribute types to the library directly. I thought it abandoned but then the maintainer responded up on an unrelated ticket.
(Though there's no CI infra actually working anymore. Makes testing contributions painful. Wonder whether building that first would be worthwhile & welcome...)

4. Since people may have used their custom implementations, just relaxing the spec is a problem.
