SQL is a good language (the only declarative in wide use) but somehow people hate it.

@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.
