How to compare arrays in GROQ

I have a blog with sanity CMS and I want to request related posts depending on corresponding tags from the current post which means I have to compare two arrays of tags.

My tags are described in post schema this way:

{
  name: 'tags',
  title: 'Tags',
  type: 'array',
  of: [{type: 'string'}],
  options: {
    layout: 'tags'
  }
},

I went with the following GROQ query which is a good start I guess but obviously it doesn't work:

*[_type == "post" && slug.current == $slug][0] {
  title,
  tags,
  "sameTags": *[_type == "post" && slug.current != $slug && count(tags in ^.tags) > 0]
}

What I would translate my query to is: "I want to get related posts which have a different slug and that own at least one tag also owned by the current post"

The count trick should work, but since you are comparing multiple tags against multiple tags, you need to iterate over them:

count(tags[@ in ^.^.tags]) > 0

In other words, it filters the tags by whether each tag appears in the other list. The additional ^. should be needed here, as the filter introduces a new scope.
