Python is slow for ML. People will take time to realize it. The claim that most of the work is done in GPU -- covers only a small fraction of cases.

For example, in NLP a huge amount of pre and post processing of data is needed outside of the GPU.

Spacy is much faster on the GPU. Many folks don't know that Cudf (a Pandas implementation for GPUs) parallelizes string operations (these are notoriously slow on Pandas)... shrug...

Apache Ballista and Polars do Apache Arrow and SIMD.

The Polars homepage links to the "Database-like ops benchmark" of {Polars, data.table, DataFrames.jl, ClickHouse, cuDF*, spark, (py)datatable, dplyr, pandas, dask, Arrow, DuckDB, Modin,} but not yet PostgresML? https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/
