I think the same, but that requiere resources. I try to work on the side in a spiritual successor of Foxpro/DBase ( https://tablam.org ). I consider a mix of relational/array model fill a lot of ergonomics for this (an

No, this not work well. The highly infectious nature of async means you need to do that A LOT. ie: reverse ALL things await. That is too much. I refactor all my codebase (a huge refactor!) because this.

This is only true for the niche subset of "large-ish" datasets and VERY sophisticated customer, where operate a distributed-ram store is "fine". A lot, bit a GIGANTIC margin of the needs for a DB are not close to this,

This is true and is a limitation of SQL (not of the relational model per-se), and also is part of the problem that SQL is not composable (so you don't have a way to nested table definitions)

by mamcx 4y ago
Composable is the ability to define things in the small and combine with confidence. SQL not allow this: by_id := WHERE id = $1 SELECT * | by_id

by mamcx 4y ago
Note: The relational model (even SQL) is THIS. Despite the claims, SQL is NOT "schema-fixed". You can 100% create new schemas, alter them and modify them. What actual happens is that if you have a CENTRAL repository of data (aka &

GC & JIT are complications, but some error handling and ways to deal with complex types are truly useful, IMHO.
