Hi Casey, 1. Personally I don't know any other implementation than in the repository itself, so JVM and Python. 2. There aren't any limitations. Most of the underlying tech used is compatible with many languages. One thing to keep in mind is that you should be able to read Avro files, which are also available in many languages. Apart from that, the data itself is written in Avro/Parquet/ORC which is also widely used and supported.
I've been working on an Apache Beam implementation (very early stage), which also has a Go API. But that will take some time to get it to a certain maturity level. Hope this helps!
