. Think also numba
, jax
, torch
or even a new language that go beyond what
numpy
offers. This post is a quick intro to my personal preference as of Jan 2025.

Essentials of polars
for pandas
experts
Abstract
pandas
is a standard tool for every data professional, although it does not scale well in production.
Yet, being a standard is a strategic position to be, as libraries coming to solve the scale issue tend to meet data professionals where they are, by mimicing the pandas
API (think: dask
, pyspark.pandas
).
polars
is a new-ish tool that is probably replacing pandas
at the time of writing. The goal of this post is to introduce the kind of mindset change needed to fully exploit polars
in production.
Technical writing with material for mkdocs
Abstract
Material for mkdocs is a documentation framework adopted by many popular python libraries e.g. this, this and this. The plugins and markdown extensions make writing rich technical content delightful e.g. maths, code, docstring parsers, and more. The main apeal of the project is that "it's just markdown" (with a bit of extended syntax). This tutorial provides a step by step intro to setting up a blog website (such as this one!) with this framework.
