Could not agree less. Ive always found SQL an unreadable mess but tools like polars and dplyr are such elegant ways to manipulate data.

Pandas is a mess though.

There's no way SQL is more unreadable than polars. IMO it's the other way around.

I think on basic queries, SQL is really nice, but when stuff gets more complex, with a bunch of CTEs, let alone functions requiring loops, it becomes pretty obtuse.
