I wish it had slightly more details, like what does the last query on the page actually return?

Also I am not sure how it's better yet. SQL is typed and has a ton of historical overhead and used in many different database softwares.

This kind of just seems like a slightly different implementation of NoSQL syntax.

EdgeQL is strictly typed, here's more info: https://edgedb.com/docs/edgeql/overview/

I'm genuinely curious what NoSQL syntaxes you are referring to.
