This is a cool idea but it needs an small improvement: algorithms should sort things out that can harm listeners badly. Al least as an option. ;-)

Nice. Someone out there will soon know my family better than me.

At the end of the day I'll ask "Alexa" what has happened while I was at work. ;-)

Nice feature set. But why do I have to learn a new query language again?

Because it's a graph database so it doesn't really fit naturally with SQL.

Competitors like OrientDB use something that's nearly SQL but not quite, and it's the discrepancies between the two that catch you out. Arango's query language is pretty nice when you get used to it.

The one criticism I have of Arango is that they're doing a lot of wheel reinvention with foxx, when I think they'd be a lot better off leveraging more of the node ecosystem.

phpnode is talking about a long discussion we had about that topic – if you are interested in the reasoning, read here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!searchin/arangodb/No...

Have a look at some examples, it's quite similar to SQL / UNQL.
