How are you guys using sqlite in dev instead of clickhouse? (Afaik there's a good bit of difference between the two dialects so I'm surprised it's possible without hurting dx through one compromise or another)

We have our own query language based on prolog which compiles to efficient queries depending on the underlying db. We haven't caught any cases for about half a decade where humans could do better queries. We are in a niche market so this is not a catch all solution; it is specifically for our market.
And I assume you have no intention of open-sourcing that query language and its compiler? Because it sounds pretty awesome...
