A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi there, are there any plans to support java.nio.Path in kotlin-dataframe. I'm thinking out the io methods. Generally kotlin has great support for the more modern `Path` so it would be nice for a consistent user-experience if kotlin-dataframe could support it as well.

No plans or tickets to support, as far as I know, but from other side the IO part is the hottest now, so, if you have some proposals or ideas, please share.

Could give 1-2 examples when Path usage will be better?

Path uses will be always better. Because any File could be converted to Path, but not vise versa. Also nio API is much more robust and flexible.

A simple example, where Path is better is a path in a zip/jar file (for example a resource).

Also paths could be used for virtual file systems like S3 or WebDav.

I also feel that path is the more modern API. So it would be nice to have built-in support in kdf
