Very interested in what data engineers think about this project!
I am not a developer, but the founders (including Yury Selivanov, Python Core Developer, see also https://github.com/MagicStack) and the fact that these people have been investing in the project for four years already, make me think that EdgeDB can be an important project for the database world!
