SPARQL is purpose built for the RDF world where you're mixing and matching a zillion different vocabularies, all of which have to be painstakingly declared and name spaced every time.

For most of us working not on the "semantic web", we typically only have 1-2 vocabularies, which is our data model, and SPARQL is super clunky to use.

I don't suppose you could give me an example that demonstrates the clunkiness? I have not worked with SPARQL myself, but I'm very curious as someone who's been leveraging a graph database (dgraph)
I don’t suppose either, because an equivalent example in SPARQL would not be more clunky.
