AWS Glue vs. Denodo vs. V Programming Language vs. ZenScript Comparison Chart

The core technology to enable modern data integration and data management solutions. Quickly connect disparate structured and unstructured sources. Catalog your entire data ecosystem. Data stays in the sources and it is accessed on demand, with no need to create another copy. Build data models that suit the needs of the consumer, even across multiple sources. Hide the complexity of your back-end technologies from the end users. The virtual model can be secured and consumed using standard SQL and other formats like REST, SOAP and OData. Easy access to all types of data. Full data integration and data modeling capabilities. Active Data Catalog and self-service capabilities for data & metadata discovery and data preparation. Full data security and data governance capabilities. Fast intelligent execution of data queries. Real-time data delivery in any format. Ability to create data marketplaces. Decoupling of business applications from data systems to facilitate data-driven strategies.

ZenScript originated from MineTweaker where a simple programming language is needed to allow users without programming knowledge to be able to execute simple commands by following the tutorials for it. Originally MineTweaker had a simple one-line-at-a-time parsed scripting system, but it quickly became clear that it wasn't flexible enough, so a simple parsed language was created. This parsed language worked quite well but was very inefficient as each value was wrapped into its own object. ZenScript allows mixed typed and typeless behavior. You don't need to define types anywhere, the compile will infer them where possible and exhibit typeless behavior when the type is effectively unknown. In nearly all the cases, the type is perfectly known and execution runs at native Java speed. Since there are types, they can be documented and enforced.
