+1. I agree that .NET + Arrow is a good match. Generally speaking, I'm not sure there are many systems programming languages whose communities wouldn't benefit from an Arrow implementation. I do think it's worth discussing what to do about the growing numbers of implementations, but that shouldn't block donation of this code. I think there are likely some interesting things to explore using C#'s asynchronous APIs as well as potential for more esoteric interactions with IronPython and other .NET software. Thanks!
