Go has a ton of potential in the data science space.

A basic DataFrame library would go a long way. Doesn't have to be as full featured as Pandas. Just something that's maintainable and portable.

I wrote a blog post a few months ago on the current Go DataFrame libraries (gota, qframe, dataframe-go): https://mungingdata.com/go/dataframes-gota-qframe/. None of the current offerings are integrated with Arrow.

An Arrow-backed Go DataFrame library that can read / write Parquet files could really jumpstart data science in Go (really data engineering in Go, which is where they should probably focus first).
