Keynote on polars
2023-08-17 , Aula

Polars is the "relatively" new fast dataframe implementation that redefines what DataFrames are able to do on a single machine, both in regard to performance and dataset size.
In this talk, we will dive into polars and see what makes them so efficient. It will touch on technologies like Arrow, Rust, parallelism, data structures, query optimization and more.
