VIM has autocomplete nowadays old man! ;)
No excuse to use a language that has the syntax of "get (things...) from (thing)" and make it impossible contextually to know what the possible (things...) are until later.

NoSQL is a misnomer, this is exactly why the whole conversation I'd like to have is nearly impossible. SQL and relational aren't synonyms. The guys who co-opted the name NoSQL to mean "non-relational DBs" really screwed us.
It's like someone created a movement called "No-C++" and defined it to mean "we are only going to use programming languages that run in an interpreter, no bare metal!" Then someone comes along suggesting the ideas behind Rust etc. and everyone argues against it by saying "No-C++ is dumb, sometimes you need to run on the bare metal!"
That's before you even encounter the people who firmly claim that SQL and the relational model are one and the same, and there is no conceivable other way to represent it. Which I regularly do encounter here on HN.
