It's just muscle memor, I've been using Pandas daily for over a decade, but I'll likely eventually switch over to Polars.
Part of the problem, as I said, is that I'm just spoiled by DuckDB when performance matters.
Postdoc @ McGill University and MILA; I work on machine-learning as applied to molecular biology.
Before that, I studied computational biology, biochem and experimental medicine.
I've a professional web-dev background, with a love for cryptography and 90's cartoons.
