  • arrow-rs

    Official Rust implementation of Apache Arrow

  • One of the interesting components of Polars that I've been watching is the use of the Apache Arrow memory format, which is a standard layout for data in memory that enables processing (querying, iterating, calculating, etc) in a language agnostic way, in particular without having to copy/convert it into the local object format first. This enables cross-language data access by mmaping or transferring a single buffer, with zero [de]serialization overhead.

    For some history, there's has been a bit of contention between the official arrow-rs implementation and the arrow2 implementation created by the polars team which includes some extra features that they find important. I think the current status is that everyone agrees that having two crates that implement the same standard is not ideal, and they are working to port any necessary features to the arrow-rs crate and plan on eventually switching to it and deprecating arrow2. But that's not easy.

  • datapane

    Build and share data reports in 100% Python

  • If you're looking for an easy way to build an HTML report using Python, you might find Datapane (https://github.com/datapane/datapane) helpful. I'm one of the people building it! We don't support polars (yet, on the roadmap) but we do support pandas so you can convert to a pandas DataFrame and include your data and any plots, etc.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
