I’d much rather deal with the peculiarities of SQL than any of the attempted replacements (ones I’ve seen in my minted experience). Elastic for instance, other json based languages, are absolutely terrible. We lost something we when stopped writing ANSI standards.

We’ve even stayed on InfluxDB og versions _because of _ the SQL like syntax, and also their improved languages are a nuclear disaster area.

SQL, despite its flaws (null != null) is pretty good enough!
