Yeah I don't like it. And I am not trying to gate keep as SQL is one of the few things I am decent at ... it just looks clunky and way too verbose. SQL is far easier to read. To me this has the verbosity of C whereas SQL is clean like Python (non-typed python).
- throwaway894345 5y agoI share your enthusiasm for SQL. I've been using it for nearly 20 years now, and it's an important technology. But I've done a lot of SQL generation for tools that manage arbitrary tables and SQL definitely makes this hard problem virtually impossible (or at least too hard for yours truly). So I try to keep an open mind for anything that purports to solve these problems. > it just looks clunky and way too verbose. Surely you need to compare this with the equivalent SQL before claiming that the SQL is cleaner? What would be the equivalent SQL. > To me this has the verbosity of C whereas SQL is clean like Python (non-typed python). Is this just a reaction to curly braces?
