To be fair, most of a relational database is not in the query, but the query planner, the scheduler, and transaction management.... this is great syntax, but doesn't offer much more than that.
EDIT: Ironically for a "functional" language, this strikes me as more of a LINQ-type library that provides a query across an in-memory structure.
- jdmichal 12y agoI'm confused about your scare quotes around functional. LINQ is, for all intents and purposes, a functional extension of collections.
- duaneb 12y agoI'm amused because LINQ is basically a query monad, and can easily be implemented in terms of lazy lists and the standard functional operations on collections. I would think something like this would be built in to the collection library.
