Inspiring article (I love SQL, but it's also frustrating). My only wish would be to see the criticisms used as a checklist to evaluate SQL improvements or new query languages. EdgeQL, indirectly linked at the end of the article, looks at a glance like it might score well. EdgeDB's blog post [1] criticizing SQL and introducing EdgeQL seems to cover the same concepts (inexpressive, incompressible, non-porous) with slightly differing language in some cases (e.g.. system cohesion for porousness). Noticed after posting this comment that there's a post today about EdgeQL.
