hyper-optimized complex queries tailored to the current state of the database", where bytecode would help Optimization isn’t the goal here, this quote misrepresents the idea. In the spirit of dismissal through all these years, btw, some people just don‘t get it and think it’s for better performance. It is, but for better performance of a developer, not that of a database. The goal is to have a set of languages above that bytecode that would help with usual programming bookkeeping and with expressing queries in an algorithmic way because that’s how you designed it. SQL lacks DX ergonomics, it’s just a language from the clueless epoch.
