Hey! For now the best way to interact with Postgres is, I think, using an HTTP wrapper server. A better way to do this needs to be created. Maybe as a community effort? ;)
@garyclarke27 if you are interested in helping us create such binding, we would love to support your effort as much as we can. Just tell us about it using our chat / forum (http://chat.luna-lang.org) or (http://discuss.luna-lang.org) and we will figure out the best way to make it happen! :) The basic building blocks are already there!
Hi Wojciech. I suspect that an ‘out of the box’ integration with Postgres plus options for some of your text representations to be expressed in SQL instead of your language would be a killer feature. No ORM though - I love SQL - I would happily pay £1000’s for such
I for example come from a finance background - now I design ERP / CRM software for my own company, I have a UI team but I would like to express some UI myself, to get immediate feedback, to iterate rapidly, a WYSIWYG tool would be perfect for me. I have total expertize with SQL an Excel, but not so much with Javascript. SQL and the Relational Model can be purely functional if immutable, ie insert only, I also use graphs a lot in my schema, they are just relations, Postgres can build closure tables remarkably quickly to create indexes for instant path queries.
My main constraint is time not cash, can your system easily interact with a REST endpoint? Postgrest (written in Haskel) makes these quite easy to setup. I auto generate SQL language functions for all data inserts, no direct to table allowed. So interaction with Views and Functions is my main requirement.
