- miohtama 3y agoHopefully we get over the fact that we still need to transpile something to the ugly SQL and databases themselves start to speak a better language. Despite all the hate MongoDb deserves, it solved the problem how application developers can easily get data in and out of a database.
- munk-a 3y agoThere are certainly valid syntatical criticisms you can have of SQL[1] but on the whole SQL is expressive and rather concise while being solid enough to remain the default expression language of choice for fifty years. 1. The order of the phrases, the lack of trailing commas, the fact that an awful organization controls the standards and gatekeeps them to a bizarre extent.
- ako 3y agoSeriously? I just had a Quick Look at the mongodb docs, but when I see that I’m glad to use SQL. All the brackets and dollar prefixed expressions make mongodb queries hard to read.
