> SQL itself is not the greatest programming language

SQL has been the biggest flaw in this stack for me. I love using PostgREST/Postgraphile et al, but actually writing the SQL is just... eh. Maybe (lets hope) EdgeDB's EdgeQL or something similar could rectify this. The same Postgres core database and introspection for Postg{REST,raphile} but with a much improved devx




I was wondering of the V8 engine integration would be something to play with, but think ot just adds inefficiency and doesn't really fix some of the core problems.


Why would you need to write SQL if you are using grapql on postgraphile? Graphql queries are much simpler anyway.


Because you have to write the schema and role and row-based security rules in SQL.
