VictoriaMetrics developer here. While Flux language looks great from computer science point of view, it has very low usability for ordinary users comparing to other specialized query languages for time series data such as PromQL [1] or MetricsQL [2]. For example, Flux requires to write long multi-line queries for simple cross-measurements math [3]. The same query written in PromQL is much shorter and is much easier to manage:
co2 * (((temp_c + 273.15) * 1013.25) / (pressure * 298.15))
