		theLiminator on Feb 17, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A bird's eye view of Polars Curious why you use the Rust API over the Python API? I'm just wondering if you've also explored the datafusion crate, because I think on the rust side it's about equivalently ergonomic to use either and Datafusion seems a little more modular/pluggable. The Polars python API is definitely miles above the datafusion python API.

Oh, I actually had not yet heard of the DataFusion crate! Thanks for sharing!

And to answer your question, we use the Rust API because all of our backend services are in Rust, and we like to stay in Rust whenever possible.
