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.

Then there's the small group that just throws everything into Excel

Interesting. Excel is certainly capable enough but I would think data set size limitations would be a frequent issue. Maybe not as frequent as I would have thought though.

Excel kinda chugs when you go over 20MB of data, but once the file is open it works. Sometimes you just need to be patient.
