Re:Parquet: More than just “Turbo CSV” by lisasays on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @09:38PM (#35462996)
The beauty of CSV is that you don't -need- a library to access the data.

It's just there, right in front of you.

Hand rolled CSV implentations are generally wrong and ruin your data.

Yeah sure - asymptotically. Once you've gotten a handle on your data, you can take care of all the bulletproofing later.

None of this is meant to be cheeky, BTW. The learning curve and general cognitive overhead of Parquet is very considerable.
