Unfortunately Evan removed GROUP BY in 0.19 and left to buy cigarettes.

As a programming language? Sure. As a way to work with relational data? It may be my favorite "language" across all domains because of the terse beauty. I am a self-taught, no CS coder but SQL is the one place where I feel like I get all the math I should know.

An opinionated, possibly hot take would be to call SQL "A more elegant weapon of a civilized age".

Maybe so, but my father in law, who is a salesman and knows nothing about computers and programming still knows SQL.

SQL is a horrible language in the same way Excel is -- programmers hate it but the what makes it a horrible programming language to developers is what makes it accessible to non programmers.
