API Feedback

[ernado]

👋 Feedback is required

Most protocol and low-level parts are completed, so feel free to post higher-level API suggestions.

So, some points from myself:

1. Connection pooling (in roadmap)
2. Column inferring (type is parsed during query execution)
3. Automatic result inferring (names and column count is inferred during query execution), will require API change
4. Helpers for Arrays, LowCardinalitty, etc (in roadmap)

Roadmap

• Alpha in Q1 22
• Beta in Q2 22
• Fully stable in Q3 22

Any serious reason not to use interface-based polymorphism and use generics instead?
Say we writing a data mapping software and have a table schema known at runtime while doing a query construction with current API... it will require tons of switch-case for complex types (like ColArray[T]) because generics are monomorphised at compile time.
