Github user dan-blanchard commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/202#issuecomment-71648291 @rmetzger I'm really more curious than anything at this point. I recently worked on a fairly large Storm topology that has parts written Java, Python, and Perl. As part of that I ended up taking over as the maintainer of IO::Storm, the Perl library for interfacing with Storm via their [Multilang protocol](https://storm.apache.org/documentation/Multilang-protocol.html). Multilang makes it incredibly easy to add support for other languages, so I just wanted to know if you guys were going for something that simple or not.
