I can vouch for adriane, the error display library that is the sister project of Chomsky.

We integrated it into PRQL compiler and the errors are beautiful!

What is a query optimizer for Pandas?

For folks using Windows, there is very similar project miniWeb [1], which is also a single binary, serves a directory with one click and provides dur listings.

Very useful for LAN parties or sharing over home network, when windows network discovery just wont work.

Re:Friendlier SQL with DuckDB on Thursday May 12, 2022 @05:38PM (#31360433)
That's true - when you hit 4th CTE you are probably doing something wrong.

But not always. Some analytical queries may actually need such complexity. Also, during development, you would sometimes pick only first 50 rows before joining and grouping, with intention of not overloading the db. To do this you need a CTE (or nested select), but in PRQL you just add a `take 50` transform to the top.

Well this is embarrassing. I have tried boosting the comments on my first HN post, but forgot about my username.

Well yeah, its a good idea and it would be hard to make.

I also don't understand how would the server verify the clients.

What does GP mean?
