Excited to see this release's official inclusion of the pure Julia Arrow implementation [1]! It's so cool to be able mmap Arrow memory and natively manipulate it from within Julia with virtually no performance overhead. Since the Julia compiler can specialize on the layout of Arrow-backed types at runtime (just as it can with any other type), the notion of needing to build/work with a separate "compiler for fast UDFs" is rendered obsolete. It feels pretty magical when two tools like this compose so well without either being designed with the other in mind - a testament to the thoughtful design of both :) mad props to Jacob Quinn for spearheading the effort to revive/restart Arrow.jl and get the package into this release.
