 % say: it has fewer statements, limited data types and a compact library of useful support primitives. It can be extended using built-in functions coded in Java, and by mappers coded as Java built-ins or as external scripts. These functions execute in parallel as part of expression evaluation in the same mapper as externally called application programs or scripts do.
