Comment on Polars Cloud: The Distributed Cloud Architecture to Run Polars Anywhereparent

Comments

Scala Spark - a bit absurd if you don't need the parallelism, though. Most of the development can be done simply in quick compilation iterations or copied from the sbt REPL. Python/pandas feels Stone Age in comparison - you absolutely waste a lot of time iterating with run-time testing.

Why scala spark over pyspark?

Scala (and Java) has a typed Dataset api.[0] pyspark only provides the Dataframe API, which is not typed.
