This appears to be encroaching on Apache Arrow's territory (which notably is headed by the creator of Pandas): https://arrow.apache.org/

mmm, i wouldn't say that. arrow is really meant as a lower-level utility with usability abstractions layered on top. for low-level tasks, like serializing/deserializing, arrow is amazing, but if you want to actually explore or transform data, arrow's not really usable (based on about a day of trying).

this, on the other hand, looks like something i might use to actually play with data and allow others to follow along.
