There are multiple sequence types where there is a strict type, and the lazy type is a lazy sequence of strict chunks, for example ByteString
and Text
.
However, the strict Series
in this package have unique ordered indexes always. This is key to performance. If we had a lazy Series
type, then we could not guarantee that a Series
index is both ordered and unique.
The question is: should the uniqueness and ordering of the strict variant be broken, like pandas
? In this case, lazy and strict Series
would have very similar semantics.
Discussion on the Haskell Discourse instance has brought up an application which cannot be executed using

0.1.0.0:Rust's dataframe library polars also has two interfaces, one strict and one lazy. We might inspire ourselves from this.
