I may be wrong. It happens a lot! But I think Arrow's vision encompasses compute, not just a data format and data interface. https://www.slideshare.net/wesm/py

I may be wrong. It happens a lot! But I think Arrow's vision encompasses compute, not just a data format and data interface. https://www.slideshare.net/wesm/pycon-colombia-2020-python-for-data-analysis-past-present-and-future https://www.slideshare.net/wesm/pycon-colombia-2020-python-f... Slide 43: The "Arrow C++ Platform" encompasses a "Multi-core Work Scheduler" and a "Query Engine" Slide 38: "It would be more productive (long-term) to have a reusable computational foundation for data frames" Again, I agree that, today, it's more data format, and the shared compute stuff is more a vision.
