You’re making a great point there about procedural mindset being applied to array programming. But the thing is, I feel like array based programming should lend itself naturally to functional approaches. And Pandas does do this to an extent.

My problem is that this is super inconsistent. Some things are done as a method call on an object, others by passing the object to a pandas function and others yet by passing a function to a method on an object. This is the major source of frustration for me.

Maybe there is some logic to that, but I haven’t found it yet and I think that is a sign of bad API design. Its like PHP to me. All nice and documented but useless without Googling everything
