Great Article! Thank you for sharing 🙂
I'll definitely use it as we gradually move to Fauna.
I'm wondering when Fauna will add a Geography data type to make things simpler.

Hey Yaorn! I appreciate the comment! I believe built-in geo support has been ticketed, however, the team (last I heard) is focused on other critical features, such as streaming/triggers. I believe it's possible to rewrite the S2 library (or perhaps other geohash libraries) in pure FQL, which would be barely distinguishable from built-in/native support. Such an implementation makes me wonder if there's a need for more conveniently sharing complex UDFs and FQL among the fauna community (maybe a package manager like npm?).
