"Bandicoot is an open source programming system with a new set-based programming language, persistency capabilities, and run-time environment. The language is similar to general purpose programming languages where you write functions/methods and access data through variables. Though, in Bandicoot, you always manipulate data in sets using a small set-based algebra (the relational algebra)."
"Here are the main features:
- functions are automatically exposed via HTTP using CSV for data, e.g. /List, /Append
- supports persistency via global variables (with transactions and ACID)
- can run on multiple computers to scale up the read throughput
- built in operators from the relational algebra with a simple syntax, e.g. "+" (union), "-" (minus)
- small binary ~100KB"
