Thanks Jeff for confirming, great news that you are still following the project and interested in voting if needed. Very happy to revert the changes and leaving you as active....

I didn't hear from Terji, so I guess he could be moved to inactive, but I think I prefer to just close this PR, since I'm not sure what the...

Thanks for the feedback @rhshadrach. Personally I think the CI will prevent any issue, and I'm not sure how often people code things that only work in the latest versions...

#60059 and Matt mentioned it in the last dev call too

@jorisvandenbossche @phofl are you planning to continue work on this? If not, should we just close and pass the torch to somebody else? Another option is to vote on the...

Thanks @arthurlw. A possible approach could be starting by numba only. The numba engine is only implemented for `DataFrame.apply` for now, and only for certain types of the parameters. For...

This looks reasonable. I'd probably start creating the `NumbaExecutionEngine` class in `apply.py` for now, as I think it'll be somehow small. And being in the same file you'll also avoid...

Thanks @arthurlw for working on this, good questions. What you propose sounds good to me. What makes sense to me is that we add the engine keyword with the existing...

For reference, [PySpark](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/reference/pyspark.sql/api/pyspark.sql.DataFrame.select.html) uses `*cols`, and [Polars](https://docs.pola.rs/api/python/stable/reference/dataframe/api/polars.DataFrame.select.html) uses `*exprs`, but also supports passing a list. If in the future we implement `pandas.col` (as discussed for `filter`), and we'd like to...

Thanks @Dr-Irv for putting together the list, I really appreciate, and it's very helpful. I'm not convinced, as all them are different cases. You can do `df.sort_values("my_col")`, `df.value_counts("my_col")`,... The pattern...
