@llama90 what is the motivation for working on these kernels? It's hard to define what would be a desired string representation of nested types (something for humans to read? JSON-like notation?) and it's quite a lot of work. If you're looking for compute kernel work, may I interest you in making sure run-end encoded [1] types are handled everywhere? Scalar kernels can be fixed generically by applying the transformation to the values and keeping the same run-ends. There might be something like this for handling DICTIONARY automatically as well that you can use for inspiration.
