I'd recommend checking out polars as an alternative to pandas - https://github.com/pola-rs/polars

It has a rather different api, and is significantly faster. Highly recommend it.

The issue is there's a huge ecosystem developed on top of Pandas. So if it's different API, now you lose access to all the ecosystem.

Should not be a real blocker. There is good interop with arrow, numpy and pandas. Where arrow and numpy mostly is zero-copy.

So you are one `df.to_numpy()/df.to_pandas()` away to `X` libary you want to use.

Polars can export to arrow which you can then load into pandas.

Or you can convert it directly into a pandas Df
