"Alternatively, Flix can be thought of as a functional programming language with a very powerful embedded query language. A Flix programmer can use first-class Datalog constraints to simply, elegantly, and efficiently solve fixpoint computations inside functional code. It should be noted that Datalog is strictly more expressive than relational algebra (~= simple SQL)."
