This is typical for analytical databases, e.g., ClickHouse (which I'm the author of) uses immutable data parts, allowing table cloning: https://clickhouse.com/docs/sql-reference/statements/create/...

`ClickHouse (which I'm the author of)` just casually dropped that in the middle

This is typical HN: everyone is here. I've seen a number of threads that unflod like this: "Lately I hacked up a satellite link to..." → "As an engineer who built the comm equipment of that satellite,.." → "As the astronaut who launched the satellite from ICS,..", etc.
