> right, alternative to using Julia's typing system, is to use values, conceptually it's like instead of NamedTuple, just use `Dict` for the type tree. But then, reading bytes from disk or network I/O will be much slower because Julia won't know what bytes will turn into. That's just not true for a column-oriented data format like Arrow. The whole point of column layout is to make processing fast without knowing the exact data layout during compilation. Otherwise, statically compiled languages like C or Rust wouldn't be able to process Arrow data fast. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
