Why is the Spark so fast?

Performance: Spark is faster because it uses random access memory (RAM) instead of reading and writing intermediate data to disks. Hadoop stores data on multiple sources and processes it in batches via MapReduce.

What language is Spark?

Spark is written in Scala as it can be quite fast because it’s statically typed and it compiles in a known way to the JVM.
