I am not the best person to ask about his, but this post could be a good starting point:

> This post summarizes the current roadmap for DataFrames.jl and the data ecosystem in general for the Julia 1.0 milestone. Plans have changed significantly since [the previous post](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/announcement-dataframes-future-plans/266). Indeed, it has appeared that representing missing values via the special Nullable type is not the only solution to attain a high performance in Julia. Thanks to [work](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/20593) [done](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/22441) by @jameson and @quinnj, it turns out that representations of nullable values similar to that used by DataArrays (i.e. Union{T, NAtype}) can also be …

Some of the issues/PRs mentioned there have been resolved already, look on Github for new ones 😉

> This issue lists packages which depend on DataFrames, with links to PRs which po…rt them to the new \`Missing\` and \`CategoricalArray\` based DataFrames. Please add new PRs as they are opened to track progress, and check boxes once they have been merged. Some packages may not need any adjustments and could be moved to a separate section.
