Perhaps not directly relevant to your point here, but thought it would be interesting to anyone following along.

Jacob Quinn (karbacca) also has a Julia package for integrating Julia into the Arrow ecosystem: https://github.com/JuliaData/Arrow.jl

Thanks Viral. To be clear, I’m a python user who’s cheering for Julia, because I live the problems of python and do see the potential of Julia as a better path. But unfortunately I’m not prepared to be the early adopter (at least in my day job), and will wait until other, braver users have sanded off the rough edges. God speed and good luck.

That's a completely reasonable viewpoint. Many users of Julia and contributors start out experimenting with it and then end up bringing it into their work when they feel comfortable with it. I hope you will have the same experience one day.
