With Malloy’s semantic model, we can visualize query results like dashboards, tables, and charts with built in interactions shared across common dimensions and measures. A preview of these new @MalloyDev features 🧵

I'm thrilled to be hosting @LloydTabb, founder of Looker, for a fireside chat on Monday evening, June 10th at Stable Cafe in SF. Lloyd is now joining Meta as he pursues his latest creation: a "better SQL" called @MalloyDev. "Many attempts at building a better SQL have failed... If we can solve Meta’s data problems with Malloy, we can likely solve anyone’s." We'll be discussing lessons learned from scaling Looker, and what inspired his big hairy, audacious goal to replace SQL. (If anyone can pull it off, it's Lloyd). If you're a data enthusiast in town for #DataAISummit, or already here in SF, please RSVP via the @rilldata link below. rilldata.com/events/data-ta…

Dataviz is hierarchical. Unfortunately, our data tools don't always play along. 🧵

4 months ago I joined the Malloy team to work on an interesting data challenge: how to visualize complex, deeply nested data structures in a consumable way. Here is where we are at today, and where we are going 🧵

I spent a few hours learning Malloy with a large set of data that I frequently query with SQL. I can honestly say I now ask and answer 10x as many questions that would have been too annoying to do via SQL. Of all of the SQL enhancements/replacements, I feel like this one could really take off. Kudos to the @MalloyDev team on this. Also, the VS Code integration is fantastic and the getting started documentation made it easy to pick up.

Is Malloy 10x? "If you can make something 10x more efficient, you have a winner." Malloy is an open source semantic data modeling and query language that runs against SQL databases. Malloy intends to replace SQL for asking questions of data.

There is a lot of talk about making "Semantic Data Models", but very little talk about how to query these models. If you work with data, I think you will enjoy this primer about how to ask interesting questions in Malloy from a prebuilt semantic data model malloydata.github.io/blog/2023-11-1…

YAML is a terrible choice for a Semantic Layer implementation. In this post, I explain why, and talk about why the Malloy team is building the Semantic Layer on top of a full-fledged programming language: malloydata.github.io/blog/2023-11-0…

Malloy lets you compose with queries with views of data. The query below creates a dashboard. Having a great great IDE support lets you understand how it works. See the results in the thread.

The Malloy Language is taking a major step forward: we're removing the label of "experimental", and releasing Malloy 4.0 -- so named because it's the fourth major renovation of the language. Read all about it here: malloydata.github.io/blog/2023-10-0…

I love when people I don't know write about Malloy. They always see it differently. Kala does an excellent job of describing why Malloy is so important when dealing with a network of data. This is a really good read. linkedin.com/posts/activity…
