+1 (binding) I'll note the verification script fails for me when testing the compute module:
# [github.com/apache/arrow-go/v18/arrow/compute] arrow/compute/registry.go:143:27: slices.Collect requires go1.23 or later (file is go1.22) arrow/compute/registry.go:143:40: maps.Keys requires go1.23 or later (file is go1.22) The fix for this appears to be on the main branch [1] which wasn't included in the release. It only happens for me on go1.27.0. As far as I can tell, this doesn't affect users of the package (i.e., go get / build succeeds) so I don't think another RC is needed.
