Thankfully they still support influxql via transpiling it to flux. They've talked about supporting promql eventually as well.

Tickscript is gone in 2.0, though. I'm not in love with Flux, but I certainly won't miss tickscript.

Oh, interesting. What's the core difference between Tickscript and Flux? Was Tickscript what Kapacitor used for InfluxDB 1.7?

Yes. The learning curve was steep, and debugging was near-impossible. Flux is rough too, but it's already getting better documentation and tooling support than Tickscript had.
