The story of Polars seems to be shaping up a bit like the story of Python 3000: everything probably could have been done in a slow series of migrations, but the BDFL was at their limit, and had to start fresh. So it takes 10 years for the community to catch up. In the mean time, there will be a lot of heartache.

I honestly don't believe something like polars could've evolved out of pandas.

It's a complete paradigm shift.

There's honestly not much that probably could've been shared at the point polars was conceived. Maybe now there's a little more (due to the arrow backend) but still very little probably.
