“The Disco core is written in

that is designed for building robust fault-tolerant distributed
applications. Users of Disco typically write jobs in

express even complex algorithms or data processing tasks often only in
tens of lines of code. This means that you can quickly write scripts to
process massive amounts of data.” source...
