| Of note Bloom is an ancestor of Eve. Bloom is a descendant of Datalog via Dedalus. "Dedalus: Datalog in Time and Space" http://db.cs.berkeley.edu/papers/datalog2011-dedalus.pdf Here is Peter Alvaro's Strange Loop talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Aa4PivG0g It was a shame that most people, seemingly the Eve devs as well, seemed to focus on making Eve a language for easy programming for the masses. Thats a huge wall of a problem with a limited funding slope. I think if there had been more upfront work and focus on the distributed programming/database possibilities, that Eve would have founded an actual community to push it along. Eve as a language for doing business logic against say Kubernetes? As a language to wire up ETL processes? I think it could have found a niche that would have made it grow in power before trying to take on the mass market. Just a thought. |
