Thumbs-up for building on top of `nanoarrow` for use via C++. The fact that we have a _minimal_ C interface here is so valuable for more complex build setups as (just about) everybody can use a C-level foreign-function interface. And placing elegant and usable C++ header-only layers on top is then pure magic. I have been told this is called the [hour-glass principle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGWw2YBQzwY). Last time this came up (as well as above) @paleolimbot pointed at [sparrow](https://github.com/man-group/sparrow) so what would be a differentiator to that (alpha ?) project? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
