Yes, this is fundamental, and it is what enables us to drive the innovation in the query language. PostgreSQL's query engine is awesome and very powerful, but it is hopelessly obscured by SQL and its data model, and then further by the ORMs. EdgeDB and EdgeQL liberate that power and present it in a modernized way. EdgeQL wouldn't be possible or practical today without Postgres.
