Unsession proposal: declarative language on nested structures #4

Description

@jpivarski

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the format: when I heard about this, I thought it would consist of five-minute talks to get feedback from the audience. Some of these other proposals sound more extensive. The following is just something I want to learn about from a room full of experts.

Declarative language on nested structures

  • Hosted by: Jim Pivarski
  • Description: I'm designing a system for analyzing high energy physics data and would like to use a well-known declarative language as a user interface. I considered SQL, but it is far too cumbersome to handle typical queries on nested data structures. I feel like I'm forced to invent a new language to express the kinds of queries I have in mind, but I'd like to ask a room full of StrangeLoop attendees if there might be a better option I'm not aware of. I can present five-minute slides of the kinds of calculations that are common in high energy physics. Note also my StackOverflow question on the same topic.
