The last technology that attempted this task was NoSQL, and we all know how that ended.
First, people realized that schemas (just like static types) are extraordinarily important for robust software.
Second, NoSQL lost to SQL over the long run in pretty much all dimensions: query language, performance, scalability, concision, etc...
As a result, not only is NoSQL on the way out, but SQL databases have actually become better at supporting NoSQL features than any NoSQL database.
SQL didn't just win, it absorbed its opponent and became even better as a result. Never underestimate the versatility and adaptiveness of a technology.

- em-bee 6y agoif NoSQL caused SQL databases to improve, then i'd argue it was a success. maybe EdgeQL can have the same success by demonstrating improvements that can be added to SQL databases.
