Universal DataFrames?!

[siavash-babaei]

Love the whole Deedle and Thank You. Every time though, I have had to essentially serialized/deserialize to/from CSV to use the resulting DataFrames elsewhere.
A dataframe is pretty much the ‘core unit’ data structure in data science.

• In R, it is a core language concept that every R library understands and utilizes. Even other flavours such as Tidyverse DataFrame are set-up to be globally readily consumable.
• In Python, the Pandas DataFrame has been universally accepted and plays a similar role as above in R.

.NET has DataFrame in Microsoft.Data.Analysis. It is somewhat comparable to Python’s but checking the examples in C#, it seems verbose and clunky and too OO/Non-Functional compared to either Deedle or Tidyverse R.

Wouldn’t it be a decent idea to somehow marry Deedle with Microsoft.Data.Analysis to get a universally understood DataFrame but with the elegance of Deedle utilities and syntax?!
