It already can. I'm a few weeks away from releasing a private alpha, so if you're interested I'll be happy to let you try it in exchange for feedback.

Yes, it's a lot like Hasura, but it's a full-fledged query language. GraphQL is a little limited in expression.

I heard about it but didn't know it can produce SQL. Thanks for the tip!

Just a tiny teaser, you could write something like Person { country => name } And it will output the following SQL: -- target: postgres SELECT country, array_agg(name) AS name FROM Person GROUP BY country

I'm trying to replace SQL by building a language that compiles to SQL. It has first-class functions, nicer syntax, better type-system, introspection, and other things you would expect from a modern language. But in the end, you still g

Do you also have experience working with SQL databases? If so, how do they compare to Pandas in terms of performance? (with or without these extensions)

I think the problem is that you're including these links in the README. New visitors expect all the links there to work, but they are broken. If the README only included basic information and a link to the github pages, it would be eas

What you're describing is essentially a recommendation system with an understanding of natural language. There's a lot of research going into it, but it's still a very difficult problem to solve.

It's a cool idea, but you should ask a lot less permissions. No way am I giving you permission to make changes to my account, like follow/unfollow people for me.

I agree. I read it in English and even though I felt some of the punchlines, for the most part I had no idea why they were supposed to be funny. I assume a lot of it is cultural references. Catch-22 is great though. Dystopic and hilarious a

I don't see how cards would help me with mathematical ideas. You have to get them on a fundamental level, and then they're hard to forget. I'm more likely to forget the name of the theorem. But space repetition might be usefu

It's not contradictory. I'm saying that the things he says are true, and there are many languages that follow that line of thought. Yes, faster than C++. Better abstractions can, sometimes, give the compiler more flexibility to op

The author has a good point, although he miscommunicates it: The common use-cases, such as servers, business logic, glue code, etc., don't usually require hyper-optimized performance. It only needs to be reasonable and predictable. Th

My project is an interpreted query language that compiles to SQL (with support for several backends). It is more capable than ORMs, and provides a layer of abstraction that SQL direly needs but lacks, as well as a shorter syntax, that is in

Well, many choose to do their data-science over aws and similar, so I'm not sure there's a big different. I see you point about throughput and network load, but part of DS is data analysis, where the work is mostly exploratory: fi

Yes, that's what I meant. And possibly for ML preprocessing. Just out of curiosity, who do you imagine your users will be?

If you have full support for SQL, it means some queries can run for a few seconds, possibly even minutes (even sqlite supports some form of bfs). So will you just time-out those requests? That would make a lot of possible uses suddenly impo

I'm far from an expert on such things, but I like the adjustable fixed-price model (like digital ocean). Whenever I see a price like 0.0002$ per hour, I feel like they're trying to mess with my intuition. That's especially ap

This list is a little nit-picky. All the id() equivalencies only exist for optimization, and not out of some promise to the user. The walrus operator can be confusing, but any language can be made to look confusing. It's an advanced fe
