Dylan Millikin commented on TINKERPOP-1232:
-------------------------------------------
Very good exchange with [~okram] on building a simple gremlin query builder vs
more complex implementation here :
https://pony-poc.apache.org/thread.html/Zva2walurhmvffo
I was originally going to post the info here but it turned into a longer thread
of conversation.
> Write a tutorial demonstrating the 3 ways to write a Gremlin language variant.

> Key: TINKERPOP-1232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1232
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1-incubating
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
>
> Talking with [~rustyrazorblade] about collaborating on a Gremlin tutorial for
> language designers. Here is what we came up with.
> We will use Python as the host language and demonstrate 3 ways to create
> Gremlin-Python.
> * Using Jython: With Jython you have direct access to the JVM and thus can
> call {{GraphTraversal}} methods directly. We can expose some Python sugar
> here and there to show why its good to have a language specific variant. See
> Gremlin-Scala for inspiration.
> * Using JNI: With Python, we have a {{PythonTraversal}} Python class. That
> class then uses Java Gateway to interact (via proxy) with {{GraphTraversal}}.
> This was done in the past as an experiment with R using rJava.
> * Using String: With Python, we have a {{PythonTraversal}} Python class where
> {{out("knows")}} simply appends {{"out(\"knows\")"}} to a string builder. The
> result can then be a String sent to a {{RemoteConnection}} for evaluation.
> These three models are the three ways in which any language can embed
> Gremlin.
