I'll note that, depending on the answer to my second point, I can file follow-up PRs to pages like https://arrow.apache.org/adbc/main/format/specification.html to update those. |

I guess we never really nailed down what is the "canonical" API. The C header is "most canonical", and I've been treating Java/Go like that as well, but also Java/Go make it much easier to make backwards-compatible changes so we can be more free than we can be with C. And I'm not sure Rust or C# are ready to be included there, but could be in principle. |

Maybe just omit listing languages altogether? :) |

Thanks for taking a look. I re-worked the language a bit:
How does that look? |

This PR is a bit of a check on my understanding. There are a few changes here: 1. Changed first sentence to help draw the reader in a bit better. 2. Changes the language "a set of abstract APIs" around. Is it more accurate to say there's one abstract API and that there are interface definitions in a few languages, most recently including Rust? 3. Remove the "For example..." as it felt out of place and slows the reader down from getting to bullet point 2. 4. Instead of referencing an easily out of date list of implementations, just link to the driver status page.
