I need arrow just to save/load R data and hope there is a lightweight alternative to the full arrow package. I couldn't find write_feather here - is it available under a different name?

First, I need to properly update the readme to point users of this repo to https://github.com/apache/arrow-nanoarrow/tree/main/r where development is more active!

That doesn't have a read/write to Arrow file/stream format yet but probably will in the next two months (when there will also be a CRAN release.
