alt Hacker NewsGod clickhouse is such great software, if it only it was as ergonomic as duckdb, and management wasn't doing some questionable things (deleting references to competitors in GH issues, weird legal letters, etc.)
The CH contributors are really stellar, from multiple companies (Altinity, Tinybird, Cloudflare, ClickHouse)

Tbh, I'm not too worried about CH management. Let them mod the GH if they want to, it's their company.
Contribution is strong and varied enough that I think we're good for the long term.
chdb and clickhouse-local is nearly as ergonomic as duckdb with all of the features of ch.
duckdb has unfortunately been leaning away from pure oss - the ui they released is entirely hosted on motherduck’s servers (which, while an awesome project, makes me feel like the project will be cannibalized by a proprietary extensions.)
They have an interesting version that's packaged a bit like DuckDB - you can even "pip install" it: https://github.com/chdb-io/chdb
