#### [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org/) | ||
|
||
Apache Arrow enables zero-copy reads of data, meaning that data can be directly accessed in its in-memory format without the need for copying or serialisation. This greatly enhances performance, especially when sharing data between different processes or systems. Using Apache Arrow, Polars is compatible with a wide range of libraries that also make use of Apache Arrow, like Pandas and Pyspark. |

This is only possible within the same process without copying. It is true that there is no serializatin if two differen processes share arrow memory.
This greatly enhances performance

There is a pending PR for a page about data visualisations from @braaannigan . My idea is to link to that page or show the plots on this page. I have opened an issue to open the discussion. That is also why this PR is in draft
