Not sure I agree with this sentiment - most programming languages aren't declarative like query languages are, and that seems especially useful for, well, querying.
- marknadal 13y agoThis is true. The neat thing about the modular design I have for gun is that people can always write a plugin that receives some/any query language, and then translates it directly into the appropriate algorithms. So you should be able to write your own abstractions ontop - but this is only possible because you are able to write the direct queries underneath.
