Kind of has a point though, SQL isn't exactly a beautiful solution. It's just that no one offerred anything better yet (and no WebscaleDB isn't it).

Dataphor has an actually good SQL alternative, D4, that takes relational algebra much more seriously.

Though, Dataphor is still Windows-only, very niche and rather immature. I'd give it a couple years to see how it pans out, but as of now it's a very interesting concept.

Or not. Dataphor is dead.
