Re:Cayley – An open-source graph database on Wednesday June 25, 2014 @07:31PM (#7947344)
I'm a developer on Orly and I focus on the language portion of the project. Orly takes a different approach in this regard by providing a general-purpose functional language as its "query" language, rather than providing a language specifically designed to traverse/query the graph. This approach allows us to perform not only queries but also arbitrary computations on the server-side and take advantage of the powerful resources available on the server such as large memory, CPUs and perhaps most interesting are GPUs.
