That's a really good question. You're not the first to suggest that it wouldn't scale in terms of complexity. But it was actually built to solve the problem of that type of scaling -- that was one its prime directives in being built -- but until it can really be tested, no one can know how it will truly hold up.

Yes, that's true, and I think that it's due to granularity you normally get when using declarative languages like SQL. It's quite difficult to do anything but make a basic selection. Declarative is a lonely paradigm for that reason. I think this is different because of how you structure and select, and would then avoid those traps, but again, time will tell.
Email me and I'll update you on how it progresses (including what its biggest flaws are turning out to be).
