Really nice writeup, will definitely be referring back to this. I think faunaDB is awesome, but FQL really makes me go crossed eyed. I don't find it intuitive to use at all.

Yeah it can definitely be a challenge when you first get your hands on it. I'd recommend playing around with the Fauna Shell, just creating some collections, documents, and indexes and querying them in different ways with functions like Pagination, Map, and Lambda. I go into this in another tutorial here.

I'd also say spend a little time working with a LISP like languages like Scheme (check out this old but still amazing tutorial). FQL is very LISP like.
