All Python, Scala and Java bindings work well in UFAL Environment. The displayed examples here are in Python and Scala. We do not discuss the Java binding, because it has the same API as Spark (and if you are a Java fan or know Java substantially better than Spark, you will be able to use it by yourself). | All Python, Scala and Java bindings work well in UFAL Environment.
