> As you might know, we will start developing bamboolib as soon as we have 10.000 subscribers! No, I didn't know. Not a fucking mention of it. Would have been nice to have that on the page somewhere.

I was going to post and ask about an estimated release date, little did I know it would be an artificially imposed one. I was sign up number 900 something. What happens if you guys never hit 10k signups? Is it just never going to be released? The github repo has 200 stars but it’s just a few stub files... this looks like a marketing campaign for a fantasy product and now I’m wishing that I’d used a throw away email. Am I missing something? Is the code for this actually available somewhere?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Very interesting project indeed! Thanks for the effort put into this, I know many data scientist who really like it.

Great, what is their background? And why exactly do they like it?

Mostly academia. Because of the ease of use, I think. If you would like to I could pass a questionnaire to them, asking what feature would they see the most.

Thank you for sharing bamboolib, StreamBright! I am Florian, the co-creator of bamboolib and I am happy to answer any questions :)

Where exactly are they getting a hold of bamboolib, there is nothing in the github, and as far as anyone has seen, there hasn't been any development done?

So Trifacta on top of Pandas. OK.

Yep. Some similarity to TFDV too, but the UI here looks to be more or less lifted directly from Trifacta/Cloud Dataprep.

pro: - Trifacta can be slow, and part of that might be the way it stores the data (I'm assuming js data structures); if so Pandas/Bamboolib could improve that.

con: - Trifacta/Cloud Dataprep is directly integrated with Cloud Dataflow and can handle jobs that would crash Pandas.

Is this free?

Yes, there will be a free version. In addition, we are thinking on how to add suitable premium services in order to fund and extend development because we have many ideas on how to improve the Python Data Science experience :) What are your thoughts on this?

Maybe you should stop lying to people first.
