Pandas 2.0 will be much faster when you store the data in PyArrow rather than in NumPy

Pandas is a Python library to manipulate data that is very popular among Python developers. If you are not familiar with it, you can imagine it as being a programmatic spreadsheet on steroids.

With Pandas you can manipulate rows and columns, calculate statistical data, join tables, pivot them, transform to other tables and do a lot more.

Since the library is very robust it found its home as a base for many data science and machine learning systems.

Pandas 2.0 —When It Will Be Released?

There is some confusion about the new version of Pandas. Some people even claim that it was already released.

What I understand from the release cycle of Pandas is that it will be released in March 2023 and now it is in the process of validating release candidates.
