Where's my PCollection.map()?

Hi all!

One of the questions that often gets asked is why Beam has PTransforms
for everything instead of having methods on PCollection. This morning
I published a blog post explaining some of the design considerations
and history that went into designing the Beam SDK.

Happy reading,
