Hello! Thanks for this! Would you release the results of the poll? That would be helpful since we are going to contribute to GoCQL once the donation is in place.

As we get closer and closer to the release of Apache Cassandra 5.0 the drivers team at DataStax would like to solicit feedback from the Cassandra community about what major features users would like to see across the various actively maintained drivers. We’re considering focusing on one of the following: * Robust support for vectors across all drivers [1] * Robust support for protocol version 5 across all drivers [2] To be clear, we’re discussing adding these features to the drivers that are actively maintained by DataStax. CEP-8<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-8%3A+DataStax+Drivers+Donation> discusses the set of drivers to be donated by DataStax to The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Of these the Java driver has already been donated and the Ruby and PHP drivers are in maintenance mode, so for this conversation we’re talking about adding a new feature to the Python, node.js, C/C++ and C# drivers. We’re also happy to work with the ASF to keep these changes in sync with similar functionality in the Java driver. Finally, we’ll look into extending support to gocql once it has been donated to the ASF. I’ve setup a poll here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oGAxGPfd8Vn9FuJi7RANauPqRc_DkMTnzLOeyCF6Jac/viewform?edit_requested=true> so please let us know which feature above you’d like to see in a Cassandra driver near you! - Bret - [1] Vectors are currently only supported by the Java, Python and node.js drivers. For each of these drivers only float subtypes are supported. [2] Complete support for the v5 protocol is currently only provided by the Java driver
