Vanilla python? Where do you get this impression?

The leak to SQL is trough s-strings, which are chunks of SQL that gets inlined into the resulting SQL. The long-term plan is to remove them completely, but they are needed as an escape-hatch for now.

I see that PRQL is compiled to SQL. How do you deal with different type of SQLs? i.e Snowflake/Postgres/Clickhouse? Isn't it a potentially impossible abstraction or at least there will be places where you will need to use the native support sql language (unless of course databases will adopt that in the first place which might be great)?
