+Although Flinkâs Table & SQL API allows to declare queries in the SQL
language. A SQL query needs to be embedded within a table program that is
written either in Java or Scala. The table program needs to be packaged with a
build tool before it can be submitted to a cluster. This limits the usage of
Flink to mostly Java/Scala programmers.

Flinkâs Table & SQL API makes it possible to work with queries written in
the SQL language, but these queries need to be embedded within a table program
that is written in either Java or Scala. Moreover, these programs need to be
packaged with a build tool before being submitted to a cluster. This more or
less limits the usage of Flink to Java/Scala programmers.
