I think the competition for the future is between DuckDB and Polars. Will we stick with the DataFrame model, made feasible by Polars's lazy execution, or will we go with in-process SQL a la DuckDB? Personally I've been using DuckDB because I already know SQL (and DuckDB provides persistence if I need it) and don't want to learn a new DataFrame DSL but I'd love to hear other the experience of other people.
