What a terrible attitude to have, that's truly the worst possible interpretation.
How's that dissing anything? They are saying they have a good abstraction that will make you more productive. While it might not be, this is literally what makes software the amazing tool it is, building layers of abstraction that make you more productive.
You seem to have gotten it all wrong, how could building something on top of SQL be dissing SQL? It's as much of a diss as C is a diss to assembly and so on.
> Show me _how_ you can beat SQL in performance
It is literally a postgres instance underneath, if edgedb is malleable enough, you don't need to beat anything, you'll have the query you want (sans edge cases and some minor overheads).
> I'm just happy to go along with what I already have
Go ahead bud, I'm pretty sure it won't be legally enforced to use any time soon so you're good to go.
The fact that this low effort comments get upvoted in HN drives me mad, just the contrarian attitude will get you points no matter the depth or effort. You don't seem to have even read the landing page or tried it, maybe you did but your comment doesn't reflect that, this is the product of 4 years of effort by some devs that are trying to innovate, dissing it without even fully seem to understanding makes me want to vomit.
It's very frustrating that whenever a team is showing something new they've built to HN, so many of the top comments are focused some incredibly nitpicky, personal issue that somehow negates everything else about the project.
It's an amazingly lazy and inconsiderate way to respond to people who've put a bunch of effort into building something.
Agreed ! Usually when you look at these "haters" there is nothing of value in their "submission" sections under their profiles, which usually tells me exactly how to "read" the comment(insult).
