> I am the least sure (or enthusiastic, that's probably the better word ;)) about adding a Scalar class. Probably there is no way around needing it, if you want to be able to represent single values while adhering to the C interface type system. But it would also be nice to keep it as limited as possible (for example, do we think someone should ever iterate over all values of the Array as Scalar objects?) This idea came out of https://github.com/apache/arrow-nanoarrow/pull/397 where I suggested having types implement their own `repr`s vs having a top-down function that introspects how to represent types. Does this feel like a good use case for the Scalar class? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
