#Queries

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Chris here radiki.dev/posts/functional-qu takes an interesting take on rethinking #databases #queries. In #Glowdust functions are used for storing data. Together with user defined types and functions on those, he presents a way to build higher-order ~functions~ queries by folds. Now this is especially useful by anything recursive.

Until now, I found #Glowdust interesting, but hard to grasp.
That what @chrisg now presented makes it tangible for me.

radiki.dev · Database queries, functional styleCan your database do folds? Mine can (sort of), and I’m gonna brag about it.

But this is #belied by their own #example. They talk about the #attester having to handle "billion-qps traffic" - that's a #billion #queries per #second.

No open-source #project, non-commercial #browser, #community #organization, or virtually anyone else whose business isn't based on tracking, abusing, and selling web users is going to be able to stand up a service like that. It would be economically impossible.
