That’s one reason Apache shouldn’t have used essentially the same name as a well-known VM released more than 20 years prior.

This feels like willful ignorance.

Can you really read the blog without realizing that there is a possibility this isn’t referring to Apache beam?

Nearly every personal blog post submitted here written for people that use a less-mainstream tool/environment/language draws aggressively obtuse comments by people mad that the author didn’t anticipate their lack of knowledge.

Who would look at something called The BEAM Book with a link to [1] and think that it refers to a book with a completely different title?

Because of you ask a person who works on Beam about “the Beam book” thats the one they are going to recommend. Who knows that the BEAM book is literally called “the BEAM Book”? There are many books like that, “the SRE book” is actually Site Reliability Engineering: How Google Runs Production Systems, etc.
