> So this is basically a fork of Postgresql? Interesting. Why not just have an extension? EdgeQL as a language is so intuitive and advanced only because it operates on a very specific data model that can be compiled to a relational model, but isn't really compatible with it. So naturally, EdgeDB wants to be in absolute control of the underlying Postgres backend, which goes beyond of what's acceptable for a Postgres extension. > Btw I suggest coming up with a better name than EdgeQL. Maybe just EQL? There are other languages called EQL (at least that's the impression I got when I last googled it), whereas EdgeQL is unique :)
