Still, I'm skeptical. It seems rather unlikely that implicitly taking a cartesian product of two lists of query results is beginner-friendly.
It isn't clear to me what Eve offers that those don't.
With Eve, you still have to learn their home-grown programming language. That is non-trivial. If you didn't have to learn a completely new programming language along with its own non-standard terminology and idiosyncrasies then I would agree.
I am aware of what they are trying to do -- I've been following the team for the last 4 years. I liked their approach of starting from first principles, but at some point they lost the plot.
That's the kind of thing I could use now for my projects, but I get the idea that it's not the focus, with this new effort on the programming language. I was really a bit shocked and disappointed to see Flappy Bird to tell the truth, I felt that the project has maybe lost its focus.
After some reflection, it makes some sense, because I guess it's showing how the database is used for state in the background, so it's showing the close integration that's possible. OK cool - now please back to the data exploration/querying/analytics focus!
What would I use Eve for?
