Does this skill help with large datasets?

Yes, it specifically focuses on lazy evaluation and streaming capabilities, allowing you to process datasets that are larger than your available RAM through optimized query planning.

Can I use this skill to migrate my existing data scripts?

Absolutely. The skill includes a comprehensive migration guide that maps common pandas operations to their high-performance Polars equivalents.

Why does Polars use expressions instead of direct column access?

Expressions allow Polars to optimize your entire data pipeline at once, performing predicate pushdown and parallelizing operations across all available CPU cores.

What is the primary advantage of using Polars over pandas?

Polars is written in Rust and built on Apache Arrow, providing multi-threaded execution and lazy evaluation, which often results in significantly faster processing and lower memory usage compared to pandas.
