For the last year, I've been working on a query language that aims to replace SQL and data frame libraries. It's continuation of my work on PRQL and EdgeQL.

Now I need feedback on usability, ergonomics and overall design. Read trough the examples, check out the CLI & tell me what could be better.

Haven't thought about but yes - it solves a few of the same problems as ORMs. Maybe the front page does not mention it, but with Lutra, you don't get result.getInt(). You get generated Python classes / Rust structs that reflect the Lutra types.
