The core of it is Rust: > Very fast kernels for SQL primitives like joins, filtering and aggregations. Quokka uses Polars to implement these. (I sponsor Polars on Github and you should too.) I am also exploring DuckDB, but I have found Polars to be faster so far.
I haven't looked into this in detail, and it seems like a fine project at a glance, but this caught my attention from the introduction: > When I set out, I had several objectives: > Easy to install and run, especially for distributed deployments. > [...] > The first two objectives strongly scream Python as the language of choice for Quokka.

that's certainly one way to look at it

Perhaps you can write the underlying query engine :-) in something that's not Python lol
Even the self driving in Tesla use Python. If your Python is slow, you are using Python wrong. So it’s kind of a good thing that it’s natively slow, because you are not supposed to do your computations with native Python. It it was faster (added a lot of type hints and build processes), you would probably not be nudged in the right direction. https://cerfacs.fr/coop/fortran-vs-python

Am I incorrect? Elsewhere in the thread you say this project is pure Python and then in the post you say you use a Rust library for queries. Am I misunderstanding something?
Is python-non-purity something that taints all dependants for you?

I agree that saying “only” python gives an inaccurate implication, but it seems non-malicious and strictly correct. I don’t think they are trying to be misleading.

Can't a pure Python project use any library that's not a pure Python project? Is python-non-purity something that taints all dependants for you?
