Exploring pandas 2.0 & Targets for Apache Arrow

75 min • 4 augusti 2023

What are the new ways to describe your data in pandas 2.0? Will the addition of Apache Arrow to the data back end foster the growth of data interoperability? This week on the show, we talk with pandas core developer Marc Garcia about the release of pandas 2.0.

Marc shares his background and work on pandas. We discuss the history of data representation in pandas and the need to move beyond NumPy. We also talk about how Apache Arrow only solves some of the issues.

We dig into the potential of an Apache Arrow back end and how it could offer interoperability between data platforms. We also cover the moderate adoption and backward-compatibility concerns. Marc also shares his thoughts on making pandas more extensible.
