I suspect Apache Arrow (along with numpy and other scientific / data-processing packages) are backed by several large companies who provide the development resources. Providing usable Racket bindings for Apache Arrow is not something one can do as a hobby in a few weekends. I ended up writing my own data frame package, which is smaller, simpler and has the features and performance levels that I need.
