Never heard of ibis before but the front page give a pretty good overview of what it is to me at least. Looks like a dataframes api that can be executed on a variety of backend engines, both distributed and local.

Somewhat analogous to how the pandas api can be used in pyspark via pyspark pandas, but from the api -> implementation direction rather than (pandas) implementation -> api -> implementation maybe?
