How's that dissing anything? They are saying they have a good abstraction that will make you more productive. While it might not be, this is literally what makes software the amazing tool it is, building layers of abstraction that make you more productive.
You seem to have gotten it all wrong, how could building something on top of SQL be dissing SQL? It's as much of a diss as C is a diss to assembly and so on.

It is literally a postgres instance underneath, if edgedb is malleable enough, you don't need to beat anything, you'll have the query you want (sans edge cases and some minor overheads).

Go ahead bud, I'm pretty sure it won't be legally enforced to use any time soon so you're good to go.
The fact that this low effort comments get upvoted in HN drives me mad, just the contrarian attitude will get you points no matter the depth or effort. You don't seem to have even read the landing page or tried it, maybe you did but your comment doesn't reflect that, this is the product of 4 years of effort by some devs that are trying to innovate, dissing it without even fully seem to understanding makes me want to vomit.
