Great project, wish you all the best. Anything to try and unseat SQL from common use (we can all wish for the day we run PostgrespostSQL in production). At the moment the project is probably going to lose people because it isn't obvious how to get started - many SQL beginners don't know what a compiler is and will get confused by the docs.

For the sake of their sanity, it'd be worth considering putting an example of using the compiler on a local text file somewhere prominent on that site. That way beginners can go in, write some PSQL, compile it and use it against real SQL databases.

Or if not the compiler, make it clear how beginners are supposed to engage with this. There is a big need out there for something dplyr-like that works. There are a dizzying array of options and that isn't going to help some good people who need a bit of handholding.

Thank you for your feedback. That's really valuable!

We have the [PRQL Playground](https://prql-lang.org/playground/) exactly for that purpose.

We'll try and make it more prominent on the front page. I've also felt that we should have a "Getting started" page and will push that as a priority.

Ah, I see. Maybe you're just losing beginners who NoScript then. I hadn't figured out what the Playground was supposed to do but it turned out there was an extra disabled script.

Nevermind, thanks.
