I'm curious your thoughts around SQL databases. On the one hand, it
standardizes your database functions around what's been the norm in industry
for decades, which is cool. But on the other hand, you're adding a dependency
and you'll ultimately open yourself up to "can we use postgres" "can we use
mongo" etc.

I'm curious what you see as the benefit?

Main reason I ask is because I've considered doing the same with daydream. A
proof of concept called vmatik was already done :)
