What makes Polars different from pandas?

Polars is built on Rust and Apache Arrow, offering multi-threaded execution and lazy evaluation, which are often significantly faster than pandas' single-threaded, eager execution.

When should I use lazy evaluation in Polars?

Use lazy evaluation when working with large datasets or complex query chains, as it allows Polars to optimize the query plan and reduce memory usage before execution.

Does this skill help with pandas migration?

Yes, it provides specific mapping patterns and syntax comparisons to help developers transition existing pandas code to Polars efficiently.

Can I use this for streaming data?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for using streaming mode to process datasets that are larger than your system's available memory.

What file formats are supported?

This skill covers I/O operations for CSV, Parquet, JSON, Excel, and various database connectors, with a focus on Parquet for maximum performance.
