Apache TinkerPop vs. JanusGraph vs. Java vs. Unlambda Comparison Chart

JanusGraph is a scalable graph database optimized for storing and querying graphs containing hundreds of billions of vertices and edges distributed across a multi-machine cluster. JanusGraph is a project under The Linux Foundation, and includes participants from Expero, Google, GRAKN.AI, Hortonworks, IBM and Amazon. Elastic and linear scalability for a growing data and user base. Data distribution and replication for performance and fault tolerance. Multi-datacenter high availability and hot backups. All functionality is totally free. No need to buy commercial licenses. JanusGraph is fully open source under the Apache 2 license. JanusGraph is a transactional database that can support thousands of concurrent users executing complex graph traversals in real time. Support for ACID and eventual consistency. In addition to online transactional processing (OLTP), JanusGraph supports global graph analytics (OLAP) with its Apache Spark integration.

Unlambda is a programming language. Nothing remarkable there. The originality of Unlambda is that it stands as the unexpected intersection of two marginal families of languages. Functional programming languages, of which the canonical representative is Scheme (a Lisp dialect). This means that the basic object manipulated by the language (and indeed the only one as far as Unlambda is concerned) is the function. Rather, Unlambda uses a functional approach to programming: the only form of objects it manipulates are functions. Each function takes a function as an argument and returns a function. Apart from a binary “apply” operation, Unlambda provides several built-in functions (the most important ones being the K and S combinators). User-defined functions can be created, but not saved or named, because Unlambda does not have any variables.
