Agree with the author, will add: duckdb is an extremely compelling choice if you’re a developer and want to embed analytics in your app (which can also run in a web browser with wasm!)

Think this opens up a lot of interesting possibilities like more powerful analytics notebooks like marimo (https://marimo.io/) … and that’s just one example of many.

We recently created a survey website for the community survey results for Node-RED making it completely dynamic and segment-able. Creates lots of value and allows everyone to look at the data through their own lens. It uses DuckDB with WASM under the hood. Awesome technologies.

The wasm is pretty heavy data-wise tho, I’m hoping eventually it’ll be lighter for easier loading on not so good devices.

I'd really love a minimalist version, I'm not sure how small it's feasible for them to shrink it. As long as it doesn't get bigger and devices keep getting faster, I suppose?
