Is there any use in learning an "easy" programming language?

I really hate SQL it often feels like you have to work backwards instead of procedurally when you get anything complex going. Thank goodness I mostly work in pyspark.
Edit: Also thanks for the shout to prql looks cool might try it in a personal project or something
My entire career is mostly 90% SQL and CRUD. To each their own!
When I was growing up the most advanced console to which I had access was the Genesis (or Master System, if you prefer). On it, by far the game I played the most was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. (I liked Tobias Boon - sorry - Noob Saibot).
For that game, you could unlock debug mode by pressing b, a, down, left, a, down, c, right, up, down. BADLADCRUD. I don't know what CRUD is in the context in which you were commenting, but it reminded me of this.
It stands for Create, Read, Update, Delete. Those are the primary operations on a database and a crud app refers to one which is little more than a front end to a database.
That sounds like a RESTful API.
Regardless, TIL. Thanks!
Same! The more I learn the more astounded I am. You mean I can retrieve 5m records in .01 seconds?
