Hi, What I would add to the gist is the latency penalty. As a java guy and db guy its the bane off my live, OO devolves into query strings because of latency and eventually one feels like one would be better of with 60's tech writing stored procedures and PLSQL.
Anther one is the fact that dbs compete in the space where they do not follow the specification. Does Gremlin Server make one loose any particular backends optimizations? I have never used Gremlin Server so perhaps my concerns are moot, but if they are on a website like you propose I'd read it.
