Polars is a novel query engine that focuses on DataFrame use front-end. This July it has hit the 1.0 milestone and this August it has landed GPU support.
The 1.0 milestone has made the Polars team confident about the API going forward and now they want to expand on the functionality. This talk will go through what has been done pre 1.0 and what to expect after. 1.0 has cemented the API and set the constraints for the future other engines the Polars team is working on.
