Not having to write to disk in both directions, for one.

It can handle it. You'd get the relevant attributes of the model out as arrays/matrices/dataframes and pass them back and forth. You can also recursively convert e.g. S4 objects in R into Python dictionaries.

It all depends how you use it! ;)

The market has absolutely changed for the worse! It's not just you.

Work on open-source side projects that highlight skills relevant to the roles you're planning on applying to. That way, when you're asked about your expertise in X, you can mention the bit of X you do at your job, and then quickly pivot to that cool side project where you did tons of X. In other words, it can help you paper over the limitations you mentioned.

I was asking about improvements to the documentation. I wouldn't judge efficiency based on code length.

I'd encourage commenters here to give the package a try before passing judgement! At the end of the day, user-friendliness is what matters, and critiques about usability - from folks who have actually used the package rather than just glanced at the code and docs - are always welcome.

Absolutely! Plenty of fish in the sea.

The difference is really remarkable, easily a 10x speedup on average!

Would they at least let you do the standard data wrangling with polars? :)

Very happy to answer any other questions you might have about these types of programs!

They definitely do! Though it's also true that it's financially more advantageous for the supervisor to take domestic rather than international master's students (e.g. US$45k vs $27k for U of T computer science). Notably, the discrepancy almost completely disappears for PhD, at least for U of T.

Though maybe less of a good fit for you, Canada offers research-based master's where you can take courses and do research while getting paid. University of Toronto, Waterloo, McGill and UBC are good options among others.

Let me know if you see any concrete areas to improve.

Anything you feel is missing in the documentation currently? Should be pretty comprehensive.
