I find SQL harder to work with because I'm used to reading and writing functions - functions that have explicit parameters with (hopefully) explicit types, and explicit return types.
So I was hoping PRQL might have some sugar like that.
It'd be nicer for my brain if I could treat any select like a function that transforms a set. Instead, even with PRQL, I'm stuck examining source tables and fully understanding them before being able to understand the query.
- mandaputtra 4y agoIs this like what ORM for?
- alphanumeric0 4y agoYeah, but without the objects.
