I love the idea of a simplified SQL syntax for joins.

I have been working with graph databases for years now: these databases had to solve this problem from day one, because of the focus on relationships between entities.

I must point out that Neo4j was the first to propose a syntax that made traversal feel simple and natural again: the Cypher query language.

Neo4 and other industry players have spent years working on a new standard query language for graph databases that was released in April this year: GQL. GQL is the first database query language normalized by ISO since SQL, so it’s a big deal.

Anyway, if you wanna learn more about GQL, that a look at https://www.gqlstandards.org/
