Products that do what GETlang – A Query Language for the Web does
hi hn, today I'm open sourcing a new SQL-like query language that's built for the web. it has dedicated syntax for request, parsers, selectors, and javascript snippets... it was built on nodejs with the incredible moo lexer and nearley parser. if you're a fan of regular expressions, do I have some code to show you! the website is mostly just a few examples and a playground where you can write & run (& share!) your own queries. there's also an introductory blog post where i try but ultimately fail to justify why this should be its own language and not a library/framework. enjoy!

eno [1] - A modern plaintext language w/ libraries [2] for JavaScript, Python, Ruby & soon more! We migrated a big relational research database to a file-based solution - requirements were: - Super fast and easy editability for users - Highest performance for parsing/validating >10K documents on every user change. Our trials with YAML/TOML showed us that we wanted something both faster [3][4] and easier [4], something tailored for file-based content management ... and after months of research & development it's now publicly available (under MIT license) for everyone! Last but…

I'm excited to share "take 2" of the Prela query language. After sharing the previous version here, I've received some valuable feedback, the main one being the weird unicode-based syntax throwing people off. Prela now has a more familiar SQL-like syntax while adhering to the algebraic principle, which makes the language compositional and controllable, all the while keeping the core engine under 1k lines of code. The engine has also been rewritten from Julia to Rust, resulting in both simpler code and faster performance (not just because "Rust fast Julia slow", but for some pretty deep…

What's your tool chain for data and document processing? - jq is great, but limited to JSON; and jQuery limited to HTML; templating systems get messy for non-trivial logic; TypeScript lacks pattern matching and schema support. So I built Lambda — an expressive functional language that combines the power of Lisp, TypeScript, and many DSLs like jq, jQuery, RelaxNG, etc. It has a lightweight 9 MB runtime, built from scratch in C/C++, that provides an end-to-end document processing pipeline (parse → validate/query/transform → layout → render/view). Internally, Lambda parse…

Hello, I'm the author of the nature programming language, which has reached an early usable version since its first commit in 2021 until today. --- Why implement such a programming language? go is a programming language that I use for my daily work, and the first time I used golang, I was amazed by its simple syntax, freedom of programming ideas, ease of cross-compilation and deployment, excellent and high-performance runtime implementations, and advanced concurrency style design based on goroutine, etc. But, golang also has some inconveniences - The syntax is too concise, resulting in a…

Hi! I wanted to understand more about databases' internals so I wrote one from scratch. It has a T-SQL inspired syntax with support for functions and procedures. It can be used stand-alone as a SQL engine or with a server allowing for persistence and replication to other connected clients. Performance are nothing near sqlite of course but that's beside the point. It’s a small database engine that can run in a web app as a way to store session data, do small calculations on a web worker, store the document/data the user is editing or facilitate “multiplayer” feature by broadcasting the…

Built QueryWeaver, an open-source text2SQL tool that uses a graph to create a semantic layer on top of your existing databases. When you ask "show me customers who bought product X in a certain ‘REGION’ over the last Y period of time," it knows which tables to join and how. When you follow up with "just the ones from Europe," it remembers what you were talking about. Instead of feeding the model a list of tables and columns, we feed it a graph that understands what a customer is, how it connects to orders, which products belong to a campaign, and what "active user" actually means in your…
