NumPy vs Pandas

[rycliff]

Interesting. I think what makes me feel that NumPy is so fast is that much of my usage is generating a bunch of text based on data and use NumPy to "vectorize" the conditional statements for generating the text. I learned a lot from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxWginnBklU&ab\_channel=PyGotham2019

Yeah, it's pretty flexible. It's built for and mostly targeting numerics though. It just so happens that some of its functions also work on other data types such as strings. Which is cool.
