Great just removed official Slack. We're still using for interactive JS dev and probably intro stuff, but moved out of official. @trxcllnt lmk if there's an alternate link. |

See how Apache Spark has a link to an unofficial chat room: http://spark.apache.org/community.html I just opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2881; the Arrow website doesn't do a good job yet explaining the different community channels |

nitpicky, but this won't actually work when copy-pasted because LENGTH is defined after the arrays.
It would be really nice if we could finish ARROW-2766 to make this example much cleaner. Inferring the types from arrays is difficult though.. so we could do a subset of that functionality that takes a list of already created vectors and a list of names for them. We can almost do this already, I can write up a PR that cleans it up.

Yeah, let's get this out and can add more later. Both code, tutorials, and communty links can all be improved :) I'm still trying to figure out how to make a graphistry.slack.com #arrow signup page link...

Sounds good - I can update the docs when I put that PR up
