Some time ago I tried Retool and it does have "Query JSON with SQL": https://docs.retool.com/queries/guides/sql/query-json (it is somewhat relevant because it was extremely convenient)

It is somewhat similar to Linq in C# although SQL there is more standardised so I like it more. Also, it would be fantastic to have in-language support for querying raw collections with SQL. Even better: to be able to transparently store collections in Sqlite.

It is always sad to see code which takes some data from db/whatever and then does simple processing using loops/stream api. SQL is much higher level and more concise language for these use cases than Java/Kotlin/Python/JavaScript
