Well done, Polars team!

Everything that I build greenfield moving forward I plan to use DuckDB, Polars, or PyArrow. Pandas was a great grandfather of a project (I actually cut my OSS contrib teeth on it, how the time flies)! I'll always appreciate the improvement pandas brought over SAS.

If Pandas was the great grandfather, R data.frame is the great-great grandfather. R data.frames directly inspired Pandas.

Do you have a take on when each of these three choices is the best one? I totally agree that these are the good choices, but I still find myself hesitating about which thing to reach for when!
