Why We’re Building Flux, a New Data Scripting and Query Language
&gt; I don&#x27;t want to live in a world where the language I speak evolved slowly over the past 1600 years.<p>Also, this? This is the illustrative example you chose for your amazing new query language?<p><pre><code>    square = (table=&lt;-) =&gt; {
      table |&gt; map(fn: (r) =&gt; r._value = r._value * r._value)
    }
</code></pre>
So you&#x27;re saying you&#x27;re combining the expressiveness of SQL with the readability of, what, perl?
