Neo4j would become the standard while being far less used than Gremlin? This is nonsense isn't it?

- maxdemarzi 7y agoNeo4j is by far used more than any other graph database out there. Regardless, the standard is not Neo4j specific. It was a collaboration from many companies in the space. They all agree it's a good move.
- The_rationalist 7y agoWell I've no statistics about tinkerpop vs neo4j and other usage, I may be wrong. But I know for sure that far more graph databases supports gremlin than supports opencypher. E.g the latest graph database from Microsoft https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/azure/cosmos-db/graph-introduction https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/azure/cosmos-db/graph-intro... Also, Cypher has performance and expressivity issues.
- b3tt3rw0rs3 7y agoJust looking at https://db-engines.com/en/ranking/graph+dbms https://db-engines.com/en/ranking/graph+dbms clearly shows Neo4j as the most prominent graph db. I think even Cosmos as number 2 might be misleading here, as Cosmos is a multi-model product and db engines doesn't distinguish between graph and non-graph use in the ranking. (Same for ArangoDB)
