Typescript is a testament to the extreme amount of work needed to normalize a scrappy browser-lang for robust use.
The issue is precisely that a community of "SQL developers" are not going to build you robust tools, merely by having generalised SQL. And likewise, a community of browser developers aren't going to either.
Single-languaging down to effectively a DSL produces a particular type of community (, language, domain of competence, ...), which is exactly what OP is complaining about.
