We do have plans. It's a question of effort, not business / philosophy.

it can, but it doesn't format. You can even run the ast!

Obviously one advantage of SQL is everyone knows it. But conceptually, I agree. I think [1]Malloy is also doing some really fantastic work in this area. This is one of the reasons …

Definitely something we want too! (I'm the author / lead for the UI)

I agree; one thing that is neat about Instant SQL is for many reasons, you can't do this with in any other DBMS. You really need DuckDB's specific architecture and ergonomics.

Great feedback! Thanks. We agree w/ the red errors. It's not helpful when it feels like your editor is screaming at you.

You should read the post! This is what the feature does.

Can you say more? Where does it error out? Sounds like a bug; if you could post an example query, I bet we can fix that.

What about it is bizarre?

Me too (author of the post here). In fact, I was watching a seasoned data engineer at MotherDuck show me how they would attempt to debug a regex in a CTE. As a longtime SQL user, I…

Correct. We only enable fast previews for SELECT statements, which is the actual hard problem. This said, at some point we're likely to also add support for previewing a CTAS befor…

You can use any variation of DuckDB valid syntax that you want! I prefer to put from first just because I think it's better, but Instant SQL works with traditional select __ from _…

Indeed, we are! We worked with DuckDB Labs to add the query_location information, which we're also enriching with the tokenizer to draw a path through the AST to the cursor locatio…

ftr I'm still on X & posting! https://x.com/hamiltonulmer

True; at the moment the UI is not open source. We've talked about releasing the Column Explorer as a standalone component, but haven't been able to prioritize it yet. We'd like to!…

(I designed and built the Column Explorer feature) Observable's column summary feature is very nice! But I do think there's a very common lineage around these kinds of diagnostics …

love this. I similarly use immer for just about every svelte project I build & maintain.

I find that Svelte is the most "jQuery-friendly" of the frameworks. I can easily add a single Svelte component back into other wise static pages without requiring anything other th…

So great to see folks utilizing Pyodide, the WASM scientific python stack my Mozilla colleagues put together. The creator, Mike Droettboom, wrote a Mozilla Hacks post about it a wh…

Thanks for the link. Incidentally I have that same talk bookmarked. Though for the record, I have needed to render thousands of dom elements per second :)

Oh, great! Thanks for the link. I had it on my to-do list to try something similar to what you did. Glad to learn from someone else's exploration.

I've posted before about my experience with svelte ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20338175 ). Will try to reiterate a few of them here. I've been using it internally at my …

From experience building more complex apps in Svelte, I can say that this has not been my experience, & doesn't accurately depict React in practice. Three aspects that make it real…

Unfortunately not – they're all private, internal views at the moment. I do hope to clean up some of my components and write something about some of the cool workflow aspects I've …

As someone who has built a number of data products w/ React, I decided to give Svelte a try a few months ago. At this point I am using it on some internal projects to great success…
