The point isn't that streets are for pedestrians - the point is that the streets are not single-purpose. The street I lived on in Stockholm had a life cycle like: - 6am - early people head to work - 8am - kids head to school - 10am - p

GraphQL ends up being capable of whatever the backend exposes in the GraphQL schema, right - so in a way, they are isomorphic. However, in reality I'd argue GraphQL is a brilliant compliment to Cypher. Here are some use cases I think C

While Cypher borrows a lot of (good) ideas from SQL, the two languages are fundamentally different in their underlying model. SQL deals with Relational Algebra, while Cypher deals with Graph Theory. For that pattern to work in SQL, your SQL

There's nothing stopping you from flipping that relationship order though, or making that pattern more compact. In fact, I'd prefer an overall reversed order, something like: MATCH (openCypher)-[:MAKES_AVAILBLE]->(cypher:Qu

First, I would take some of the discussion about MongoDB loosing data with a grain of salt - especially since the really harsh critique is coming from an unknown source, as far as we know, it could be a sinister competitor spreading BS. Mon

What law of nature causes the BC to become more secure? We moved off the gold standard because it was too volatile, and we needed a way to stop rampant deflation and/or inflation (thus central banks expanding and contracting the money suppl
