This seems nice in theory, but the tradeoffs make me question it's real world viability. It has to be a transpiled language, because SQL is so ubiquitous is may never die. And yet, because it's a transpiler, I'm skeptical that it will actually be easier to write than SQL, because you'll still need to know all the gotchas and eccentricities of SQL.

Maybe for users who already experts in SQL this would be a quaint alternative syntax. However, personally I've already invested so much time developing familiarity with SQL that I see no advantage in moving to a new syntax that would take more time to become deeply familiar with, and that my co-workers won't understand.
