Description
Today, there is really only one feature-complete high-level API wrapping the lower-level Acero ExecPlan API: the dplyr interface arrow R pacakge. But in the future, when Acero has full capability to consume and execute Substrait plans, then will have more high-level APIs wrapping Acero, including Ibis. It would be nice to include a tabbed interface in a prominent place on the front page of the Acero docs showing several different Acero-compatible language APIs, similar to what's on the front page of the [Apache Spark website](https://spark.apache.org/). Credit to @wjones127 for suggesting this idea.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Acero documentation front page and reviewing how its current high-level API material is presented. Compare the requested tabbed presentation with the Apache Spark website example, then confirm that the front page shows examples for several Acero-compatible language APIs and remains prominent and usable.
