I think this is awesome. This is like higher level and more readable + hopefully more efficient version of SQL.

BTW: In the nested-filters example, I don't understand how actor's `name` is being returned as `actor_name`. Where is `AS actor_name` being specified in EdgeDB's query?

It isn't. The quer returns an array `actors`, each of which has a property `name`. The SQL doesn't produce the same output, it's more like the SQL you'd write to solve the same problem.

Btw you can copy that example into the previous executable example input box and remove the reviews part to execute it.
