I would appreciate if you clarified what Dask is at the beginning of the post. I'm a Python developer and it's the first time I hear about it and I had to scroll pretty much to the end for a link to its documentation.

The target audience isn't all Python developers, but specifically data scientists or engineers who work with the PyData stack, to whom Dask is pretty well known.

I would've appreciated it if you clarified this in your own comment :)

It's like a lightweight Spark but more pythonish.
