Ibis is a portable Python dataframe library, initially created by the same creator of pandas. Today, it's a well-maintained project that supports 20+ backends including pandas, Polars, Dask, Snowflake, Spark, Oracle, BigQuery, etc.

Ibis tables (dataframes) have to_pandas() and to_pyarrow()/to_pyarrow_batches() methods, so you could already use it with itables, but it'd be good to have more official support and documentation

motivation for this request is that I want to switch over our Ibis analytics dashboard from a Streamlit app to a Quarto dashboard, and perhaps put it directly on the Ibis website
