Polars

Fast DataFrame library written in Rust

About Polars

A DataFrame library implemented in Rust using Apache Arrow, designed for fast, parallel data manipulation in Python, Rust and other languages as a modern alternative to pandas for larger datasets. Its open development model means documentation, plugins and community support are publicly available, and organisations can contribute fixes upstream instead of waiting on a vendor roadmap. For many teams it becomes long-lived infrastructure: simple to back up, straightforward to automate and independent of per-seat pricing as usage grows steadily.
