@eclairwolf though tbf i have a Lot of feelings about ecs’ current state of querying – especially given its over-reliance on component types and not enough on data or relationships. i wrote my ecs article earlier this year with a pt. 2 planned about how querying in ecs should more closely resemble database queries – probably something like a RDBMS query language at first but hopefully eventually into something like a neo4j cypher-like language which can query based on entity relationships. i would love to be able to, for example, query all enemies in an active battle scene to determine the valid targets of a spell which automatically kills enemies that are under 10% HP

match (:Player)-[:IS_BATTLING]->(enemy:Entity)
where (enemy.current_hp / enemy.max_hp) * 100 < 10
return enemy
