No surprise I use python, but I’ve recently started experimenting with polars instead of pandas. I’ve enjoyed it so far, but Im not sure if the benefits for my team’s work will be enough to outweigh the cost of moving from our existing pandas/numpy code over to polars.
I’ve also started playing with grafana, as a quick dashboarding utility to make some basic visualizations on some live production databases.
Not a data scientist but I deal with a lot of monitoring and security data. I mainly use Kusto/KQL. It’s super easy to pick up and deceptively powerful. The biggest downside is you are pretty much tied into the M$ ecosystem. I haven’t seen it gain any usage outside of Azure.
