"A jaw-dropping amount of effort has been spent attempting to bridge the gap between the relational paradigm of SQL and the object-oriented nature of modern programming languages. EdgeDB sidesteps this problem by modeling data in an object-relational way."
All the best to the team. I however truly hope this isn't the direction the industry moves toward. I thought we learned our lesson from MongoDB. I still believe data is best modeled in sets, not objects.
The solution isn't for databases to become more like object stores but for general purpose programming languages to be more amenable to seamless access of set-oriented data.
EdgeDB is NOT an object store. It is "relational model enhanced" instead where a set is a fundamental building block [1] so not just relations are sets, but attributes can be sets also.
