And do you support other backends as well (i.e. MySQL?). Does EdgeDB still offer a regular SQL interface because people need time to migrate.
Even if I was convinced EQL was the future I wouldn’t throw out the old stuff. If the old stuff continues working but there is a smooth migration path, I would probably give it a try.
Think of TypeScript vs. JavaScript.

No, but we have a few ideas on how to connect existing databases to EdgeDB.

Yes, we'll be working on that.
