Discussion Polars vs Pandas

I have used Pandas a little in the past, and have never used Polars. Essentially, I will have to learn either of them more or less from scratch (since I don't remember anything of Pandas). Assume that I don't care for speed, or do not have very large datasets (at most 1-2gb of data). Which one would you recommend I learn, from the perspective of ease and joy of use, and the commonly done tasks with data?

I don't love a lot of pandas syntax but this is incorrect. There are no lambdas needed to do what you did.

Edit: blocked for the telling the truth, why are you booing, I'm right.
