Ballerina has been designed as a Data-Oriented programming language and supports a functional programming coding style. The Ballerina query language is similar to SQL in the sense that a query expression is made up of clauses. The Ballerina “Table” data structure can be more effective than maps in representing indexed data collections By Yehonathan Sharvit Ballerina has been designed as a Data-Oriented programming language and supports a functional programming coding style.

Recently, Google announced the general availability of Bigtable federated queries with BigQuery allowing customers to query data residing in Bigtable via BigQuery faster. Moreover, the querying is without moving or copying the data in all Google Cloud regions with increased federated query concurrency limits, closing the longstanding gap between operational data and analytics.

Alex Kondov, principal engineer at News UK reached the conclusion that Node’s focus on freedom and flexibility led to various approaches, many borrowed from other languages. As a trial to provide a more organic approach he wrote the Tao Of Node as a set of development principles for an improved development experience. InfoQ reached out to him, to find out more about these principles.
