Last night, @bcantrill and I were joined by our colleague Ben Naecker to talk about OxQL—the Oxide Query Language we’ve developed for interacting with our metrics system.
“Another query language!” the comment sections responded, “why can’t you *just*… ?” So we explained why we can’t *just* …! Along the way we talked about metrics, ClickHouse, histograms, parser generators, and the beauty of domain specific languages.
