Claims a lightweight, functional alternative to Pandas and shows concrete code that lazily parses and processes real GitHub JSON results. Uses urllib/json, ijson+itertools generators to stream items, operator.itemgetter with sorted+groupby for grouping, itertools.count/islice/repeat to simulate infinite and finite streams, and functools.lru_cache for LRU cache memoization. Binder notebooks and exercises are provided; meza is presented as meza: lazy, pure functional data library that reads files lazily and demonstrates the approach working on examples.
