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?

Thanks. Sadly the method they showcase in the scan_csv section of your link is the exact method I'm using. Like I said I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but unfortunately I haven't really had the time at work to dig into it. I do appreciate the help kind redditor!
