[xquery-talk] Does XQuery fit anywhere in this landscape.

[Pavel Velikhov]

I still don’t know if we’ll have the resources yet, so this is hypothetical right now.

Just JSONiq, I don’t have much hope for XQuery (because of XML underneath).

You need to do two things: convince people that the new technology is better (or at least, is cool), and give them a big kick up the backside to get them out of their comfort zone.
