It depends on the specifics, but I converted a couple of scripts recently that would take minutes to run with Pandas that only took seconds to run with Polars. I was pretty impressed.

That was probably about what I got when I migrated some heavy number crunching code from Pandas to Polars a few years ago. Maybe even better than that.

Do we finally have a new Fireworks?

The big feature I'd like to see is someone setting up the re-rendering PNG files which Fireworks had.

I had the exact same thought! I played with it a bit and I immediately thought of Fireworks. I still use it from CS6. Hopefully not anymore.
