Uwe and Joris, I work for MathWorks. We plan to contribute Feather read/write capability in the near future. Interesting idea about MATLAB and Arrow. We’ll take a look as well.

Aside from HDF5 & mat files (both on disk), it can be really tedious to efficiently share data from anywhere with MATLAB, so it's becoming increasingly isolated. I'm going to play around for a few days with Arrow & the Matlab C++ API, getting a bit more familiar with it and maybe hacking a small prototype together. Currently it's just out-of-hours, though, so don't expect major magic. :) Thanks, -J On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 2:33 PM, Phillip Cloud <cpcl...@gmail.com> wrote: > The MathWorks is in the process of starting to contribute.
