I'm not sure where that number comes from but I don't think it's right, and I don't think that's how La Liga is structured anyway. It's governed by an association of all of the teams in the top two flights of spanish football.

I am a huge sucker for games/lessons like this. I feel like I've played one every 5 years for the last almost 25 years.

They have not! If I am scrolled up while more output is produced, the scrollback jumps to the top pretty consistently.

Doing something like that is basically the only way to write unlambda: you start with a lambda calculus (or scheme or whatever) and reduce the lambdas away mechanically. (This is in the unlambda docs!)

No, of course not, but it didn't crash on our machines!

I talked a bit about this in my release day talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZ3o-NsU_4&t=8151s), but:

* Every edgedb type has a postgres table

* "single" properties and links are stored as columns in that table (links as the uuid of the target)

* "multi" properties/links are stored as a link table

So it's basically just translated to a relational database in normal form
