Looks interesting:

I’ve put together some simple [ocaml-arrow](https://github.com/LaurentMazare/ocaml-arrow) library. It works reasonably well and is quite battle tested but definitely needs a bit of cleanup as the bits under src/ are deprecated in favor of the ones under c\_api/. There is also a ppx to automatically convert ocaml records to/from arrow. Some examples using this can be seen in the [tests directory](https://github.com/LaurentMazare/ocaml-arrow/blob/master/c_api/tests/ppx.ml).
If there is some interest, I can certainly push up on cleaning this and make an actual opam package.

I was asking because I did not find anything in opam (opam search arrow).
If you create an opam package, I am definitely interested and will give it a try.
