There is prior art for the "object relational" databases. Used WakandaDB (from the 4D creators) ~10+ years ago fairly heavily and in most ways it was way ahead of its time.

The UI editor was fantastic: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datamosaic/data-sutra-waka...

The query language was imperative in the "fluent" style:

var record = ds.Group.query("name = :1",group).first();

Really psyched about what EdgeDB is doing moving this space forward. The declarative composable query language is a paradigm shift imo — not just a better ORM.
