If you’re writing data pipelines then yes, but a lot of Pandas users use it interactivity. As much as I’d rather use Julia, the last time I tried it I found myself waiting for computation far more often than with a Jupyter/Python workflow.

Give it another try. They've improved the first run times quite a bit over the last few versions. Package precompilation has gotten way better as well.

DataFrames1.3 is a lot faster specifically.
