"What would replace SQL? An API of course! And NOT an API that uses a textual language. Instead, an API that uses an appropriate set of data structures and function calls to access the necessary data." Isn't this similar to what frameworks and libraries such as Jooq do? They provide data structures and function calls where you pass in the user inputs, and the library will safely construct/execute prepared statements. However, I still think of them as being SQL based tools. Is this what Bob is recommending, or does he have something completely different in mind?
