Dias: Dynamic Rewriting of Pandas Code
Summary: Dynamic, cross-library source-to-source rewriting of Pandas code for ad-hoc EDA; fine-grained dynamic preconditions ensure safe rewrites. Dias rewrites notebook cells to speed up EDA, up to 57x vs pandas, 1909x vs modin, and 3.6x notebook-wide gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
