Great Intro. I begin learning Polars as a long time Pandas user. This video is at the right level for a condensed lesson for me. It presented so well that I feel I missed something not seen his Pandas courses.

Explicitly saying the columns to maintain is more futitr proof.

Matt Harrison is great, but his code is far from beautiful

Hot take: Pandas 2.1+ & innovations with cuDF make polars seemingly irrelevant.
