The cli demo reads very nicely! Most impressive, looks very straightforward. I'd have some questions or playing around to do to understand how best to use this from a we server, where we were making multiple concurrent queries... Should runtime be pooled or are they safe to use across multiple I flight requests? Details. Overall very impressed with the code. Definitely a huge spike of faith for me & greatly accelerates my interest in trying to bring this in as a dev.

We can't be everything to everyone, not a blocker, but I do want to just raise the topic & see what comes out, Malloy seems purely to be a querying tool. So we'd probably have parallel Knex.js code to write data, then Malloy to read it? I should check your road map (yay you have a road map!) to see if there's anything far off here, but it was one of the major other thoughts I had about trying to get onto Malloy.

Hats off on the GitHub vscode notebook. Really really nice malleable tactile way to show the project off. It seems like there is a DuckDB (itself very promising new tech) instance that it relies on, which I think somehow the Malloy vscode extension provided & loads the data into automatically... Is this running on my browser, or GitHub? How? What's the magic that makes this happen? It was really cool seeing the markdown notebook be so tactile, a great feat; really well done!

Thanks for the kind words! Admittedly, a lot of the stuff you're asking about is still a work in progress, and we don't have good answers for it all just yet. The upside of that is you have the potential to influence which direction we take next.
