Dmitriy V. Ryaboy commented on PIG-928:
---------------------------------------
Woody, what I meant by my remark was that I disagree with Ashutosh and agree
with you, not that I only want to support Python. If using a framework meant we
could support 100 jvm-based languages and your approach meant we could support
2, I'd still go with what actually works.
By the way, we should adapt this to create a reflection UDF to call out to Java
libraries, so we don't have to wrap things like String.split anymore.

> It should be possible to write UDFs in scripting languages such as python,
> ruby, etc. This frees users from needing to compile Java, generate a jar,
> etc. It also opens Pig to programmers who prefer scripting languages over
> Java.
