+Since launching in early 2016, Apache Arrow has been growing fast. We have made
+nine major releases through the efforts of over 120 distinct contributors. The
+project’s scope has also expanded. We began by focusing on the development of
+the standardized in-memory columnar data format, which now serves as a pillar
+of the project. Since then, we have been growing into a more general
+cross-language platform for in-memory data analysis through new additions to
+the project like the [Plasma shared memory object store][1]. A primary goal of
+the project is to enable data system developers to process and move data fast.
+
+So far, we officially have developed native Arrow implementations in C++, Java,
+and JavaScript. We have created binding layers for the C++ libraries in C
+(using the GLib libraries) and Python. We have also seen efforts to develop
+interfaces to the Arrow C++ libraries in Go, Lua, Ruby, and Rust. While binding
+layers serve many purposes, there can be benefits to native implementations,
+and so we’ve been keen to see future work on native implementations in growing
+systems languages like Go and Rust.
+
+This past October, engineers [Stuart Carnie][2], [Nathaniel Cook][3], and
+[Chris Goller][4], employees of [InfluxData][5], began developing a native [Go
+language implementation of the [Apache Arrow][6] in-memory columnar format for
+use in Go-based database systems like InfluxDB. We are excited to announce that
+InfluxData has donated this native Go implementation to the Apache Arrow
+project, where it will continue to be developed. This work features low-level
+integration with the Go runtime and native support for SIMD instruction
+sets. We are looking forward to working more closely with the Go community on
+solving in-memory analytics and data interoperability problems.

+
+One of the mantras in [The Apache Software Foundation][7] is "Community over
+Code". By building an open and collaborative development community across many
+programming language ecosystems, we will be able to development better and
+longer-lived solutions to the systems problems faced by data developers.
+
+We are excited for what the future holds for the Apache Arrow project. Adding
+first-class support for a popular systems programming language like Go is an
+important step along the way. We welcome others from the Go community to get
+involved in the project. We also welcome others who wish to explore building
+Arrow support for other programming languages not yet represented. Learn more
+at [https://arrow.apache.org][9] and join the mailing list
