I think you'll find that SQL is one of the most widely understood languages. Current programmer education deemphasizes it, but in basically any analytics space, SQL is the lingua franca.
- joshuamorton 7y ago"Understood" is a strong word. There are lots of people with a basic understanding of SQL but who can't write complex queries to do things like represent tree structures and cyclic relationships. I don't think your average analyst can do that. And even if all the analysts in the world could do such a thing, that doesn't matter if they're not building the applications.
