Polars is a data frame in the Rust language using Apache Arrow Columnar Format. polars-ruby is the Ruby binding for Polars created by Andrew Kane.
Several members of the Ruby community have been deeply involved in the development of Apache Arrow.
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.
