usql VS Redis

Also all languages has an query-builder / ORM so the benefit of something like PRQL is possibly not big enough to merit it as an additional dependency.

My suggestion:

Make PRQL a cli tool that can be used by allowing users to connect to a database in a similar fashion as something like usql (https://github.com/xo/usql),

take a look at: https://github.com/xo/usql

https://github.com/xo/usql has some good first issues

There's a new release of usql that adds even more autocomplete and fixes a bunch of issues: https://github.com/xo/usql/releases/tag/v0.11.0

I am not a big fan of the complex literate programming style involving code-generation which this article talks about.

But I recently discovered that Google's zx [1] scripting utility supports executing scripts in markdown documents and I combined it with httpie [2] and usql [3] for a bit of quick and dirty automation testing and api verification code and it worked out pretty well.

One of the challenges Redis labs here have is that there's very little reason for their userbase to stay loyal to them.

antirez retired from Redis development a few years ago.

From https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors it looks like activity since he left has been mostly from people who didn't overlap with him much.

Redis Labs have not shown themselves to be outstanding stewards of the project as far as I can tell. Why shouldn't people support the fork?
