Last year, I transitioned from R to Python and adopted Polars for data frames as its API was similar to tidyverse's tibble and dplyr. Hence, are there any plans to include Polars in this project along with Pandas? If you want, I can open a pull request for my local Polars project down the line.

Why is this needed?

Implementation with Polars along with Pandas

Hi @PGupta-Git ,

Thanks for your suggestion. I considered using Polars instead of Pandas for my PyTorch book, it's a great library, I really like its speed and functional approach. It was kind of a toin coss, tbh.

I don't think I want to support both Pandas and Polars in this project as it's already quite a lot of work to adapt the project every time Pandas is updated. However, if you're going to build & maintain a Polars version of this project, I'm happy to point to it. 👍
