SQL is a horrible language. I’d gladly program in something composable like Elm.

		It'd definitely need a solid team behind this and not just Evan Czaplicki if I were to trust a database with my data.

As a programming language? Sure. As a way to work with relational data? It may be my favorite "language" across all domains because of the terse beauty. I am a self-taught, no CS coder but SQL is the one place where I feel like I get all the math I should know.

An opinionated, possibly hot take would be to call SQL "A more elegant weapon of a civilized age".
