Polars is a great choice but, like pandas, locks you into its execution engine(s). Polars is a supported backend for Ibis, though depending on your use case DuckDB or DataFusion may scale better. we did some benchmarking recently: https://ibis-project.org/posts/1tbc/

Also depending on your use case, Ibis may not support the part of the Polars API you actually need

(to be clear, I'm a fan of "DuckDB via Ibis", I'm much less a fan of statements to the effect of "use Polars via Ibis instead of Polars directly", as I think they miss a lot :wink:)
