I can see how that might be a bit circular. Let me start from the
perspective of requirements. We want to be able to reuse the arrow's
types
and schema, without having to write additional code to move back and
forth
between compute IR and not-compute-IR. I think that leaves only
flatbuffers
as an option.
If that's the case then agreed (well, you can always embed as a raw
bytestring in other formats, but that wouldn't be pretty).
I just wonder what the complexity of using Flatbuffers is for e.g. Python.
IMO the complexity isn't high, but the generated code is definitely not
idiomatic (

Wow. And you also have to integrate `flatc` in your build chain?
IMHO that compares poorly to JSON or MsgPack, for example.
