This is fantastic. Column aliases are super helpful in reducing verbose messiness.

DuckDB has all but replaced Pandas for my use cases. It’s much faster than Pandas even when working with Pandas data frames. I “import duckdb as db” more than I “import pandas as pd” these days.

The only thing I need now is a parallelized APPLY syntax in DuckDB.

Fugue has a DuckDB back end and I believe they can actually use Dask and DuckDB in combination for what I believe is similar to what you are looking for! There is also a way to map Python functions in DuckDB using the relational (dataframe-like) API.
