You've put one of my biggest frustrations into words very well. Someone trying to learn about serverless architecture is immediately going to run into the serverless framework which will often have nothing to do with what they're trying to accomplish.
Or trying to learn about the CLI (Command Line Interface or Common Language Infrastructure)
A group is trying to propose a standardized language for querying graph databases, ala SQL. They decided to call it Graph Query Language. This has nothing to do with the GQL spec, which itself has nothing to do with graph databases.
The biggest obstacles in this field really feel self erected sometimes.
- musingsole 5y ago"Graph" as used in "Graph Query Language" and "Graph Database" is synonymous. The bigger problem comes from naive practitioners using a word and insisting to novices it has one exclusive meaning when it plainly doesn't. "Lambda" is not a protected mathematical term. It's a Greek letter (and 500 other things besides)! The fact that 'lambda calculus' is a recognizable concept is itself a consequence of the language evolution you're complaining about.
