    No worries, it doesn't come off that aggressive ;) Yes, I've definitely been involved in other projects where a single core developer can do a little too much "imposing" of their w…

    The biggest difference in these benchmarks comes down to how multiple threads are leveraged; (disclaimer: primary CSV.jl author here). In CSV.jl, it was relatively straightforward …

    I agree; if I needed to parse CSVs in python and could utilize the arrow format, I would definitely use pyarrow. I actually recently finished support for reading/writing the arrow …
