Summary: [C] Minimalist ANSI C / C99 implementation of Arrow data structures and IPC
Key: ARROW-1851
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1851
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C
Reporter: Wes McKinney
This is an umbrella tracking JIRA for creating a small self-contained C implementation of Arrow. This purpose of this library would be compactness and portability, for embedded settings or for FFI in languages that have a harder time binding to C+. The C library could also grow wrapper support for the C+ library to expose more complicated functionality where we don't necessarily want multiple implementations

Antoine Pitrou / @pitrou: I don't think this is likely to happen any soon. Should we close as Won't Fix?
Wes McKinney / @wesm: I still see it as an aspirational goal. Let's leave it open and maybe someone will pick it up
This is now implemented as the nanoarrow C library? cc @paleolimbot
Thanks for flagging...I think nanoarrow covers all of what was mentioned here. I do explicitly test C99 but haven't looked into an explicit ANSI check.
