Author of the post and siuba here. I'm pretty interested in exploring supporting polars as a backend, and if it works well supporting versions of the SQL backends that translate to SQL based on the polars method API :).

(I haven't really used it, but it looks promising)

Hey, I love siuba. Haven't had a chance to use it much but it scratches an itch for me. For years I've grumbled about how Python isn't flexible enough to accommodate tidyverse style libraries, as it lacks pipes and lazy evaluation (or macros), but siuba has managed to be very nice to use.

Maybe someday Python'll get a macro system ...
