I absolutely love Polars. I work on some unholy dirty data and the ease of use, chaining, speed are a godsend. One dataset that previously took 40 minutes in Pandas now takes two minutes in Polars. Granted, the Pandas query could be optimized, but out of the box, Polars eats pandas when it comes to speed and efficiency.

I basically ditched SQL for most of my analytical work because it's way easier to understand for my juniors (we're not technically a tech team) so it's a total win in my eyes.
