I'm kinda bummed out with these recent SQL tropes. Plenty of people look down on SQL and try or try to make the new fancy thing only for it to fall flat on it's face and for people to realize that SQL is pretty good. It's not great for programmatic access but it's great for analytics and manual querying.

Sql was good for what it was doing.

But that doesn't mean it's ideal. It just has a large most that people wasn't able to disrupt.

Check out linq both the sql-like form and the lambda form. It feels much better for what it does.
