Description
I like the philosophy behind DataFlow and found the Java and Python samples highly comprehensible. However, I have to admit that for most Node.js developers who have little background on typed languages and are used to get up to speed with frameworks incredibly fast, learning Dataflow might take some learning curve that they/we're not used to. So, I wonder if at any point in time Dataflow will provide a Node.js SDK. Maybe this is out of the question, but I wanted to run it by the team as it would be awesome to have something along these lines!
Thanks,
Diego

Research direction
The issue asks whether Apache Beam will provide a Node.js SDK comparable to its Java and Python SDKs; no files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the existing Java and Python samples and the linked Stack Overflow and Jira context. Done would require a decided scope and an implemented, supported Node.js SDK.
