How does Polars differ from pandas?

Polars is built in Rust on top of Apache Arrow, offering superior performance, memory efficiency, and a lazy evaluation engine that optimizes query plans before execution, whereas pandas uses eager execution.

Can this skill help me migrate my existing pandas code to Polars?

Yes, it includes specialized documentation and mapping patterns to help you translate pandas logic into idiomatic, high-performance Polars expressions and commands.

Does this skill support Parquet and SQL formats?

Yes, it provides comprehensive implementation patterns for reading and writing various formats including Parquet, CSV, JSON, and connecting to external databases.

What is the benefit of lazy evaluation in Polars?

Lazy evaluation allows Polars to analyze your entire chain of operations. It performs optimizations like predicate pushdown (filtering early) and projection pushdown (selecting only needed columns) to minimize resource usage.
