The same happened to jython which is all but dead and stuck forever at python 2.7 If you stick to "pure Python" there's a larger chance you can use any python runtime and be able to run your code

You can't go wrong with nextflow. I heard a lot of scientists complaining that it's too hard to understand, but honestly the DSL and the scheduling model (flow based) is just great

I'd add ELN/LIMS in the same category. At first they just look like some CRUD app, but each uses a slightly different data model, different plugin system and (often outdated) scripting language built-in the system.

Nextflow seems to scale very well

The reliance on filenames to define (parametric) dependencies was among the reasons I later adopted nextflow. The model fit the type of computation dependencies better for my case. In the mean time snakemake grew and many DAG that were hard

There is indeed an old issue asking whether they could return a provenance graph using the prov ontology in JSON format https://github.com/snakemake/snakemake/issues/2077 I think it's a good task to work

I love snakemake. It almost saved my PhD, but then I found nextflow which suited my type of problems better. What's is slightly off-putting about snakemake is that the internal API isn't well documented, I wanted to contribute a n

Isn't this what powershell tries to do,with the difference that it's structured objects being passed instead of tables?

At the same time very minor (not bad, just not as important) PEPs are accepted all the time, particularly regarding type hints and module magic methods. I love the "new python" with the type hints, but in retrospect more effort sh

Thanks for the clarification! I'll read more about it, I'm quite curious to see how these clauses are implemented in Trino

That's great! How about performance? Say I want to use MATCH_RECOGNIZE on a postgresql backend, is the compiled query going to be significantly less performant as compared as the same query on databases that support (oracle) that state

That's a good point. Additionally, it seems the standard isn't freely available and I doubt most of the developers of existing SQL DBs partecipate in drafting new standards. It seems it is doomed to diverge even further, which beg

Great thanks, if I understand it right, instead of having a new database engine, Trino compiles the statement into the query languages of the different backends and runs these queries in a distributed way?

Great, thanks! It's really encouraging to see a community today were the moderators/owners reach out to users directly.

Your website is great and I regularly check it to see what's new in various implementations. Unfortunately it seems that many databases don't support many modern SQL features yet. Any ideas as to why?

Indeed,from my understanding of history it seems that lisp brought the idea of homoiconicity through the use S-expressions. Scheme was the first to introduce lexical scoping and in general the idea of constructing the language on a small se

All great features, but unfortunately most SQL DBs still miss the implementation of features from SQL:2016 like MATCH_RECOGNIZE. I wonder what's the purpose of an ever growing standard when most implementations only support a small sub

I'm not so sure about cyby2, the persistence is based on "conventional" relational DBs. Judging by the paper, the main goal wasn't developing a specialised functional data structure to store molecules
