SQL is a good language (the only declarative in wide use) but somehow people hate it.
@phifer a good scheme makes everything so easy, it's great!
@bonifartius Why do you say that? SQL is like the worst imaginable way to express relational algebra, Datalog is way simpler and more intuitive
Dijkstra was 100% correct about natural-language programming

@scathach i have zero issues with SQL, it just werks and is widely supported.
datalog might be fine (never used it), but the choice isn't between datalog and SQL. it's between nosql garbage languages with no guarantees and SQL which is time tested in language and implementations.
@bonifartius I freaking love SQL, it's my favorite way to get shit done.
