I was wondering the same thing. Why not rather than build a new database engine, write a library like an ORM that transpiles a language - like EdgeQL - to SQL, so you can attempt to use it, without switching underlying database engine, and still use your old SQL code?

EdgeDB is built on Postgres, it's not from scratch.
