Really intriguing article about a SQL syntax extension that has apparently already been trialed at Google.

As someone who works with SQL for hours every week, this makes me hopeful for potential improvements, although the likelihood of any changes to SQL arriving in my sector before I retire seems slim.

So like LINQ?

I find LINQ query syntax less readable than SQL. I like LINQ method syntax for simple, linear queries.

The linear method syntax is somewhat like the idea of piping SQL operations.

I just threw up in my mouth a little. Do we have content warnings here? We should get content warnings here. It's been three blessed years since I thought about the pile of crap that is LINQ. Here's to three more!
