Hi,
I agree that splitting up Beam into separate repositories would cause
more pain than gain.
To a large degree we already have independent modules, e.g. runners/* or
sdks/*. Although this is not the case for the core. It would be
desirable to break it up further.

This is almost what we have. Yes, there are some dependencies on the
Beam Gradle Plugin, but even if we had completely independent build
directories, you'd still want to have a shared config/tasks across the
projects (which might bring you back to a setup similar to what we have).
One of the pain points seems to be the portability which "polluted" some
parts of the project (e.g. legacy Runners). As mentioned in this thread
that could have been solved with an abstraction. But the lack of
abstraction also forced us to adopt the portable pipeline code quicker.

Yep for the split
For the clean point it is quite linked to the build tools and fake env
for not native modules for the build tool (go for gradle which is java
first for instance). This is why having a real build which is natural
per language would be beneficial IMO.

Correct, it's more "module splitting" than repositories indeed.
