closed. Thanks to all!
> [JS] Implement JavaScript-compatible implementation
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-541
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Assignee: Paul Taylor
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
>
> I would really like to see an implementation of Arrow that is compatible with
> NodeJS and modern web browsers. This would enable streaming columnar data to
> the browser without an intermediate conversion to JSON -- I could imagine
> web-based data visualization systems would benefit substantially from this
> functionality.
> Because Google's Flatbuffers library has first-class JS support, this should
> be achievable. Carlos Scheidegger created a prototype implementation of the
> Feather file format (basically: mini-Arrow) last year:
> https://github.com/wesm/feather/tree/master/js
> This JIRA can be an umbrella issue for the JS implementation. As soon as we
> find interested contributors to work on this, we can create JIRAs and attach
> them to this issue until we reach a certain level of maturity.
> Without starting a bike shed discussion, I humbly request that the
> implementation be done in TypeScript https://www.typescriptlang.org/
