I should've specified polars, ibis, dplyr, pyspark, etc.

Pandas is easily the worst dataframe api.

I'll never go back to SQL from polars, it's far superior in both composability and readability imo.

Not to mention complex transforms can be version controlled and unit tested, and then you can compose these together.

It also maps to/from SQL quite naturally.
