+<p>Gremlin is an embeddable query language that can be represented using the 
constructs of a host programming language.
+Any programming language that supports <a

composition</a>
+(e.g. fluent chaining) and <a 
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function";>function nesting</a> (e.g. 
call stacks)
+can support Gremlin. Nearly every modern programming language is capable of 
meeting both requirements.
+With Gremlin, the distinction between a programming language and a query 
language is not as large as they
+have historically been. For instance, with Gremlin-Java, the developer is able 
to have their application code and their
+graph database queries at the same level of 
abstraction&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;both written in Java. A simple example is

allows a developer
+to write a Gremlin traversal within their native programming language. The 
language variant is responsible for

compiled to a <code>Traversal</code> by a TinkerPop-enabled graph system.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Every language variant, regardless of the implementation details, will have 
to account for the four core concepts below:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="olist arabic">
+<ol class="arabic">
+<li>
+<p><code>Graph</code> (<strong>data</strong>): The source of the graph data to 
be traversed and the interface which enables the creation of a
+<code>GraphTraversalSource</code> (via <code>graph.traversal()</code>).</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>GraphTraversalSource</code> (<strong>compiler</strong>): This is the 
typical <code>g</code> reference. A <code>GraphTraversalSource</code> maintains 
the
+<code>withXXX()</code>-strategy methods as well as the "traversal 
spawn"-methods such as <code>V()</code>, <code>E()</code>, <code>addV()</code>, 
etc.
+A traversal source&#8217;s registered <code>TraversalStrategies</code> 
determine how the submitted traversal will be ultimately evaluated.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>GraphTraversal</code> (<strong>function composition</strong>): A 
graph traversal maintains the computational steps such as <code>out()</code>, 
<code>groupCount()</code>,
+<code>match()</code>, etc. This fluent interface supports method chaining and 
thus, a linear "left-to-right" representation of a traversal/query.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>__</code> (<strong>function nesting</strong>) : The anonymous 
traversal class is used for passing a traversal as an argument to a parent step.
+For example, in <code>repeat(__.out())</code>, <code>__.out()</code> is an 
anonymous traversal passed to the traversal parent <code>repeat()</code>.
+Anonymous traversals enable the "top-to-bottom" representation of a 
traversal.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>Bytecode</code> (<strong>language agnostic encoding</strong>): The 
source and traversal steps and their arguments are encoded in a
+language agnostic representation called Gremlin bytecode. This representation 
is a nested list of the form <code>[step,[args*]]*</code>.</p>
+</li>
+</ol>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Both <code>GraphTraversal</code> and <code>__</code> define the structure 
of the Gremlin language. Gremlin is a <em>two-dimensional language</em> 
supporting
+linear, nested step sequences. Historically, many Gremlin language variants 
have failed to make the distinctions above clear
+and in doing so, either complicate their implementations or yield variants 
that are not in 1-to-1 correspondence with Gremlin-Java.
+By keeping these concepts clear when designing a language variant, the 
construction of the Gremlin bytecode representation is
+easy.</p>

developed. Scala provides many syntax niceties not

+Apache TinkerPop is a JVM-based graph computing framework. Most graph 
databases and processors today are built
+on the JVM. This makes it easy for these graph system providers to implement 
Apache TinkerPop. However, TinkerPop is more
+than its graph API and tools&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;it is also the Gremlin 
traversal machine and language. While Apache&#8217;s Gremlin traversal
+machine was written for the JVM, its constructs are simple and can/should be 
ported to other VMs for those graph systems
+that are not JVM-based. A theoretical review of the concepts behind the

leverage the JVM directly. Instead, it constructs a <code>Bytecode</code>

+It is up to the language variant designer to choose a <em>language driver</em>

+<p>When the above Groovy script is evaluated (e.g. in GremlinConsole), 
<strong>Gremlin-Python</strong> is born. The generated Python
+file is available at <a 
href="https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/3.2.6-SNAPSHOT/gremlin-python/src/main/jython/gremlin_python/process/graph_traversal.py";>graph_traversal.py</a>.
+It is important to note that there is a bit more to Gremlin-Python in that 
there also exists Python implementations of <code>TraversalStrategies</code>, 
<code>Traversal</code>, <code>Bytecode</code>, etc.
+Please review the full implementation of Gremlin-Python <a
