Note that the repo mentions "some of our resources are moving from our website to GitHub: "Docs: http://kuzudb.github.io/docs, Blog: http://kuzudb.github.io/blog" but those links currently redirect to kuzudb.com. I presume they won't be covering the domain name costs in the future and that the transition is in-progress.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The fact that GQL is now supported by some of the relational Database, doesn't mean they'll become an alternative to native Graph Databases.

Yeah I guess it’s like saying that relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs.

>relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs

This holds true for 95% of cases of well-made software.

PGQ requires you to write using SQL and read using a graph query language. GQL is a standalone language that supports reads/writes. But much of the community is still using cypher.

I use the Python Kuzu graph database library, super convenient for local experiments. I see no reason to stop using it. The underlying database is archived on GitHub so it isn’t going anywhere.

One thing you might want to watch out for is that the storage format on disk is not stabilized.

Last few releases, you couldn't open a file written by a previous version of kuzu. You had to constantly export/import as new versions were released.

This is no longer a problem for kuzu because development has stopped. But any open source fork needs to think about how to stabilize storage.

In the past few releases kuzu switched from database as a directory to a single file database.
