I’m not proposing some crackpot half-baked idea here. There are well-defined and researched alternatives to SQL.

The most fully-developed you-can-use-today offering is Datomic, which uses Datalog as its query language. If you know Prolog, and how that is kind of database-like, Datomic is pretty much a variant of Prolog.

https://www.datomic.com

I don’t use it because it’s closed source.

I feel like anyone who is defending SQL here isn’t aware of how much better the alternatives are, and how bad SQL really is.

Have you written a language description we can read and talk about?
