There are now so many "backends" for {dplyr}—duckdb with {duckplyr}, polars with {tidypolars}, various database engines with {dbplyr}, {data.table} with {dtplyr}. Is there a blog post or flow chart somewhere with pros and cons of each? Like, comparisons of memory requirements, speed, and how likely they are to "just work"?

@LeafyEricScott@fosstodon.org interesting. Biggest issue is that it depends on application. I was until today in the tidypolars side but today data it failed completely. While testing duckplyr for the first time works pretty nicely I admit. Seems like a wild range of options like messaging or microblogging apps where it is hard to know where to stand and put efforts in
