No surprise I use python, but I've recently started experimenting with polars instead of pandas. I've enjoyed it so far, but Im not sure if the benefits for my team's work will be enough to outweigh the cost of moving from our existing pandas/numpy code over to polars.

I've also started playing with grafana, as a quick dashboarding utility to make some basic visualizations on some live production databases.

I'm not a data scientist but I support a handful. They all use Python for the most part, but a few of them (still?) use R. Then there's the small group that just throws everything into Excel 🤷🏻‍♂️

R and tidyverse is really amazing, the syntax is so natural I rarely need to check the docs on anything to quickly do basic data transformation/plotting. Definitely more intuitive than pandas (and I learnt that first).
