> If you look at the latency chart he provides, there's another level to it: going to a database server. If you're gonna do that, you're not really in the speed game anyway, so why not make it simple? OTOH, this is where I can see the biggest benefits from building a language/system around the article’s approach. You’d really like to execute a lot of the logic on the DB (or some other distributed system) which needs to be deeply integrated with the DB to be as convenient and expressive as pulling the data and operating locally.
