Malloy - An Experimental Language for Data
In this video, the author walks through a new programming language for data analysis: Malloy. The author points out that due to historical design, we manage data in “rectangles” such as SQL tables or OLAP cubes. He makes the point that data isn’t rectangular, it’s hierarchical (order has products, products have prices, etc.). He built Malloy to make data analysis easier and more aligned with how we think of data objects.
