What is EdgeDB? It is new to me.

Yeah, it's because it is new. We released the first public version a few weeks ago, here's a blog post with the announcement: https://edgedb.com/blog/edgedb-1-0-alpha-1 Hope you will try it!

  • I skimmed the post and am not interested enough to look at it further. I'm not saying it isn't interesting at all, but I still need to carve out the time to learn Postgres' new features and check out RethinkDB again. If I had infinite time I would check it out.

    The MongoDB example is extremely contrived. If you wanted to do that with MongoDB you would add a new field or a new collection with full_name rather than doing a $map.

    • The comment in the query mentions that it makes the query only 5% slower. You can drop the "full_name" part, but the query would be still too low level (even compared to SQL/ORM examples) and slow.
