| > Some of the Old LookML syntax is an exact copy. I met the online Looker demo a few years ago when I was looking for a business intelligence tool for another project. Looker has a closed source code, so I did not see what algorithm is used to build queries. I kept those LookML features that I understood and liked. However, in some places LookML is confusing (for example - references and aliases). I made them differently. Later Looker quit using YAML. > Very few BI products have actually surpassed 100 users at target installations. And beyond 1,000 is a real challenge that only few, and even then with a lot of assistance, can support: Tableau, Looker, Microstrategy, maybe Birst, maybe Domo. Scaling that size is not a top priority right now. > Also, a combination of BI with LookML is a complicated product. You should have told me this a couple of years ago. It seemed pretty simple. > So with all that, the question is, is it really worth the struggle? Yes, If people will use it. > What's the end vision for supporting this? In future - maybe "skinny" or "thin" option mentioned here - https://medium.com/open-consensus/2-open-core-definition-exa... >Why should someone who implements BI for a living bet on this product?

Congratulations on the launch. I will be using mprove and will give you feedback along the way.
EDIT: I would love to get in touch with you and learn more about what your plans are. Possibly collaborate if you'd be open to that. I'm dpaola2@gmail.com -- I couldn't find your contact info anywhere!
