So I agree that unperformant SQL is unperformant, but PRQL can _reduce_ the chance of making mistakes there. Here's an example [1] of someone reporting that a query engine was far more performant with one SQL construction, and then PRQ

[PRQL dev here] We don't have LSP support yet, but it's on the Roadmap. We've designed the language to be very LSP-friendly — one of the benefits of starting with `from` and pipelining each function.

[PRQL dev here] I strongly think we should have the best examples of SQL to compare against. I've ironically made this complaint for other libraries, so I'm alarmed that folks think we might have done the same. We would take a PR

Great tip! Didn't know about this. A similar one: ~/.config/git/ignore is a global private gitignore. Great for files across repos which you always want to ignore, such as temporary files from an editor

Thanks! We just did a big refactoring so we do have some links failing in our tests. Just PR-ed a fix to this one: https://github.com/PRQL/prql/pull/3075 (PRQL dev here)

Big fan of this post! We link to it from PRQL website. Our goal for PRQL is a great language to integrate with & build on. So we don't have N languages for N databases. Because PRQL will always be open-source, and won't ever h

Yeah, and it does flicker a bit etc. But I still use it all the time now — I found it so much easier to get up to speed with relative to tmux. And it's getting better all the time, so I'm happy to invest in it...

Folks misunderstand why Vim is so popular. Do you prefer navigating files like a startled hamster, jabbing "alt-left" incessantly? Or like a ninja, swift and accurate? Fancy playing Whack-a-Mole, relentlessly pounding a single key

Instead of denying your desire for status, surround yourself with people who will award you status for doing the things you want to accomplish. We have a whole mechanism in our brain dedicated to chasing status — harness it!
