title: Introducing ES|QL — A new query language for flexible, iterative analytics
body: |-
As the Elastic Platform has become more widely adopted for search, security, observability, and general analytics,
analyst users require the ability to take data-as-ingested, transform it to fit their investigative needs
post-ingestion, and derive insights from underlying Elasticsearch index data. They need a concise, integrated,
and efficient workflow enabled by rich and expressive queries where search, filter, aggregation,
and transformation are performed via a single query expression with little-to-no UI context switching.

To solve these challenges, the Elastic team is developing the <<esql,Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL)>>.
ES|QL provides Elastic users with a flexible, powerful, and robust query expression language to interrogate data.
ES|QL also provides a superior query UX with post-ingest processing capabilities that fundamentally transforms
and expands the analytics and data processing capabilities of Elasticsearch.

ES|QL introduces distributed compute capabilities to users in disparate roles and with varying skill levels.
These compute capabilities enable ES|QL to simplify user workflows in several key ways.

* Utilize a superior query UX: ES|QL query expressions support complex analytics and data processing.
They are easy to learn, read, and share.
* Use the filter, aggregation, and transformation capabilities of Elasticsearch with subqueries and lookups,
made possible by new Elasticsearch compute and data processing capabilities.
* Use ES|QL across Kibana in Discover, Kibana Lens, and Elastic Solutions, giving you seamless workflows.
You will be able to visualize ES|QL queries, share them with teams on dashboards or as queries,
and use queries to create custom alerts.

That wire frame doesn't look too close to how ESQL looks in Kibana these days; should this maybe use a more up-to-date picture?
