Inspiring Computing

Polars - Lightning-fast DataFrame library for Rust and Python

Gareth Thomas Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode of Inspiring Computing we talked to Ritchie Vink was the author of polars. Polars is a Python package written in rust and anyone who is ever used pandas will for sure find this episode interesting, as polars has incredible speedups compared to pandas. But in order to do so, it is interesting to hear from , Ritchie, where he got his inspiration from, how did he go about creating such a powerful package and where is he actually going in the future? 

And this episode, he talks about some of the optimizations that he implemented.
