Suminda Dharmasena commented on BEAM-262:
-----------------------------------------
For what Beam does you do not need the fully fledged overhead of Apache Flink
or Apache Spark. If you look at languages like CAL Actor Language what is
needed is much more rudimentary to run dataflow pipelines. So what is needed is
what you have to have to run the DF pipelines and not all that is present in
the underlying frameworks.

> Having to depend on other frameworks to do the heavy lifting means that the
> quakes, limitation and overhead of the other platform limits what can be
> achieved. Hence is it possible to have Beam directly generate code for LLVM,
> JVM and .Net platforms without dependence on any other platform.
> Also perhaps there can be code generation than directly native code in high
> level languages like C/C++, Java, C#, F#, Rust, Julia, D, Nim, etc.
