Integrating Rust with Python...
summary
Benchmarks show Polars (Rust) beats pandas once tables grow—10,000 rows × 50 cols pandas holds up but at 10,000×100 and 50,000×50 Polars is noticeably faster; pandas still wins simple filters. Polars leverages Apache Arrow, SIMD, multithreading, lazy query optimization. Practical build path uses Python + Rust with maturin and pyo3: write a Rust function (example: add), cargo build via maturin develop, import the module in Python — the module builds and runs as expected.
