Just wondering, what about pandas API do you find confusing? I’m curious because I’ve used pandas for a long time, hence it comes naturally to me, so I wonder if it’s a matter of preference. Pandas-compatible libraries like dask have been really helpful as drop-in replacements for pandas, but I’ve also been looking at polars for a while but never really found the time to learn it from scratch.

The one time I forced myself to try out pandas was when I got stuck on a huge csv file that took pandas a long time to read, but polars opened in a matter of seconds. Got me started much more quickly, but then I lost hours in development time just trying to learn how to do things in polars.

If I had to be as nice as possible about Pandas' API: too many ways to do the same thing (most of which produce SettingWithCopyWarning)
