Regarding using multiple languages in one project
You can also use Rust to write an extension module that can be loaded into the Ruby interpreter, so that everything runs in the same process: https://github.com/matsadler/magnus

Tried polars in Ruby
So while the Arrow C binding for the Ruby language is relatively well-developed, polars-df is not an Arrow C binding, but a binding to Polars implemented in Rust. magnus is used for the connection between Ruby and Rust. In fact, there is also a Ruby data frame that uses the Arrow binding, which is called RedAmber. But we are not talking about that now.

Ruby 3.2.0 Released
The template generated with bundle gem —-ext=rust uses the Magnus[1] library that provides a high-level friendly Rust wrapper over the Ruby C API, but you can also use rb-sys[2] which is lower level bindings direct to the Ruby C API.
