Sessions
Polars is a dataframe library taking the world by storm. It is very runtime and memory efficient and comes with a clean and expressive API. Sometimes, however, the built-in API isn't enough. And that's where its killer feature comes in: plugins. You can extend Polars, and solve practically any problem.
No prior Rust experience required, intermediate Python or general programming experience required. By the end of the session, you will know how to write your own Polars Plugin! This talk is aimed at data practitioners.
