Why is it called Edge though? I immediately assumed it was some kind of distributed db running at the edge but it seems this is not the case.
Probably in the sense of a graph edge.

Dumb question, how do you exit the shell? I feel like I've scoured the docs and can't find it.
What colin said, or (in every terminal emulator I've used), ctrl-d to send end of file, which will close it.
Congrats Sully and thanks for your work on mypy!

#243Where does full text search fall into the picture / current query language? Do I need to drop down to writing SQL for that?
When do you drop down to SQL / where does the boundary end for edgeQL?

#244This looks phenomenal guys. I've read a bunch of these Show HN posts over the years and I struggle to stay engaged on most of them. They always lean towards highly technical that makes my small brain smooth over or so much marketing speak that I have no idea what's going on. Your post was short enough to comprehend in one sitting, you have an example near the beginning and you make your case clearly. I love that you used Postgres as a layer and I think that set you up for success. You have me excited and I'm pretty pumped to use edgedb in one of my idea projects just to get a feel for how it works.
Congrats!

Thanks. Please report back your experience!

Yeah, we also blogged about this extensively. Here are are some links: Pointed critique at SQL: [1] Benchmarks: [2] and [3] We'll be adding a dedicated benchmarks page to our website soon.

#247Great project. Can this be used from rust somehow?

An official Rust client is in the works.

#250These guys are from magic stack, they wrote the definitive async python postgres library, asyncpg. Very high quality library. Been keeping a close eye on Edge, had even considered it as a primary database, and probably will in the future!! As much as I adore the ergonomics improvements I really am more interested in the performance, replication, scalability story, with the likes of cockroach db reaching maturity in 2…
they also wrote uvloop [0] which is fantastic and advances the cutting edge of what can be done with modern asyncio-based Python. I saw a ~3x improvement in the throughput of a microservice I wrote when I first tried it out years ago. currently at $dayjob we just use it by default in every Python service, whether or not we expect that service to be performance-critical.
it's as close as you can get to having actual magic sprinkles that make your code go faster.
