thanks for the perspective, I think we should be very pragmatic
regarding languages. Let's stick to DML as our domain-specific language
with R-like syntax, but add language bindings such as the Python API
(and others) to seamlessly plug into common data science workflows. A
similar mind set worked very well in the internals too: Java for nicely
integrating with Hadoop/Spark and simplicity, but with C++ and CUDA
kernels and native libraries where necessary.

for the Python API this is fine, for DML not as we should stick as close
as possible to R syntax. Once we had a pydml syntax too, but this
created lots of inconsistencies and could not use Python as a host
language. So, I think restricting such changes to the Python API is a
good path forward. Other opinions?

Hi all
Can i suggest a radical change of matrix multiply.
to change the command from %*% to @.
Python has made this commitment!

or at least change this in the python API?
Best regards

Subject: [DISCUSS] Apache SystemDS 2.0 Release
Hi all,
I'd like to propose Aug 31 as a target date for the SystemDS 2.0 release
(feature freeze August 21). This should gives us enough time to figure
out the list of things that still should go into this release as it's an
opportunity of a major for changes of external behavior. However, as
it's the first SystemDS Apache release, I think we should still stick to
Spark 2.x and Java 8 and consider upgrades of Spark and the JDK for
subsequent releases. So, what do you think and any major features you'd
like to see complete for 2.0?
Regards,
Matthias
