Oh, I agree! SQL is far from optimal, as is JS. My thoughts are more about the feasibility of a replacement than the need for one.

US electrical outlets are also highly flawed, but we're never going to replace them either. Standards, once entrenched, are nearly impossible to uproot.

I like US electrical outlets. They make for small, foldable plugs.

Yes, it's easier to shock one's self than with most other outlet designs, but the consequences of that are usually mild and help to instill a healthy respect for electricity.
