Ibis compatibility checker

I'm a fan of the Ibis framework. To me, dataFrame APIs feel great and leaving pure Python to write a SQL query in a nasty triple-quoted string does not.

In this post, I motivate and give a proof of concept for an Ibis "compatibility checker" where, given an Ibis expression, the checker will tell you which backends it can be run on.

This post isn't meant to sell Ibis, just motivate why I think it could be useful for a specific set of people.

In this post, there are slight spoilers for the novella A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. So, buyer beware.
