I think it would be OK to have this as an example use case for the JS library (vs. solely on Powered By), minus the editorial langage (e.g. "makes it simple" is subjective). What does "spinning out" mean here? We should try to limit name dropping companies (e.g. you won't see Cloudera mentioned in the README for Apache Kudu or Apache Impala, even though a large fraction of the devs works there) outside of Powered By

* **[pandas][12]:** data analysis toolkit for Python programmers. pandas
supports reading and writing Parquet files using pyarrow. Several pandas
core developers are also contributors to Apache Arrow.
* **[Perspective][23]:** Perspective is a streaming data visualization engine for Javascript that makes it simple to build real-time & user configurable analytics entirely in the browser. It spun out of JP Morgan Chase.

What does "spun out of" mean here? Maybe "created at"?

-- I removed JP Morgan stewardship from main arrow docs, though still seems relevant for JS powered by so kept there
-- I removed superlatives. I originally copy-pasted from the Perspective project docs, so changes should still match their intent.

I didn't take action on adding to 'Examples' section. I think we can do a lot better on the arrow js intro section, and recommend approaching that more holistically, vs. via this...
