today I saw that one can use Polars to query Snowflake directly using ADBC https://pola-rs.github.io/polars/py-polars/html/reference/api/polars.read_database.html

and started thinking what should be the relationship between ADBC and Ibis. I saw various closed PRs on the Ibis side (#5010, #4267) so initially this was not clear to me.

Digging a bit more, I also came across Substrait and initially it was not obvious to me what the relationship between Substrait and ADBC was. I finally found this:

ADBC allows applications to pass queries either as SQL strings or Substrait plans.

Do you have any more insight on what are the overall plans and roadmap in this space of the whole Ibis -> Backend -> Substrait -> ADBC -> Database tower?

docs: add composable data ecosystem concept (#7898)
d78a887 
## Description of changes

add conceptual article for the composable data ecosystem, explaining the
relationship between Ibis and other key projects (Apache Arrow, ADBC,
Substrait)

very WIP. some TODOs:

- [x] finish prose
- [x] formatting
- [x] share w/ other projects for review/feedback/contribution

I plan to finish my first pass on this ~tomorrow and share w/ other
projects. some open questions:

- is it worth mentioning Flight and FlightSQL? I kinda feel like it's
confusing and focusing on ADBC as the connectivity layer is better
- are there other projects we should mention? perhaps SQLGlot fits in
here?
- Substrait: working through the finer points of why SQL isn't
sufficient and Substrait is needed
