Nice. Pipelines are lot more intuitive than sql, and the other added niceties were desperately overdue. Funny considering sql is supposed to be human readable hehe. Feels a lot like MongoDB aggregation pipeline, but with a more integrated syntax rather than its verbose chaining of json values.
New language is a double edged sword though, a special syntax will be much more difficult to compose from other programming languages, without resorting to string formatting and all the injection vulnerabilities that opens up for. With json-objects or chainable functions it’s easier to programmatically build queries.
What’s the strategy for composability? Related, maybe some times conflicting, requirement, can type safety with host language be possible?
