SQL types are actually default nullable, which puts them to the "not typed enough" category for my taste.

Then you really won't like it that we're moving in the opposite direction :)

I personally like strong, static type systems. But a lot of real world data doesn't match static schemas, which is why businesses hire data engineers to (build systems to) clean it up.

Oh, the real world is strongly typed. It's just the that the type is "json.Value" :(

I of course recognize that a database is not very useful if you can't get your data in there.
