Well, I'd argue that most of the time SQL is treated as a glorified CSV. No-one really looks at it as a real language, which it actually is. As for optimization, I'd say that it might be too efficient for its own good. As now one can have its ORM generate a huge request and complain to the DB if the SQL is slow. If you write in any other language, you usually don't complain that the processor is badly optimizing the asm execution. But you blame the compiler. ORM on the other hand are mostly never blamed, just pitied if they fail. Having Wasm inside the RDBMS might be a much better approach. But then it will be up to the wasm program to be efficient.
