EdgeDB co-founder Yury here. Ask me anything :) Live launch stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZ3o-NsU_4
Is there an eta or public wip of a python query builder?

EdgeDB employee here. We're beyond excited to finally publish a stable release of EdgeDB after 4 years of active development and 15 pre-releases. Happy to answer any questions on here!
Is this a potential alternative to graph databases too? How does it compare to them?
If you use a graph database to run graph algorithms on your data, then NO. Although we'll be working on adding support for recursive queries to EdgeQL in the near future.
At the time of writing, docs have a large typo in them: https://www.edgedb.com/docs/clients/01_js/driver impoart * as edgedb from "edgedb";

4 years!? Wow, I can't imagine how you guys are feeling today, congrats and all the best to the project!
"What is a graph-relational database? EdgeDB is built on an extension of the relational data model that we call the graph-relational model. This model completely eliminates the object-relational impedance mismatch while retaining the solid basis of and performance of the classic relational model. This makes EdgeDB an ideal database for application development."
I don't see how can they retain the performance of the relational model when using graphs on top of PG unless they are using PG as storage k/v layer only.
