Preql

Looks similar to PRQL[0]. Neither PRQL nor Pql seem to be able to do anything outside of SELECT like Preql[1] can. I propose we call all attempts at transpiling to SQL "quels". [0] https://prql-lang.org/ [1] https://github.com/erezsh/Preql

Hm, I just realized there are two similar projects with very similar names: this one, and https://github.com/erezsh/Preql

It seems people here are really interested in alternatives to SQL. So perhaps you'd also like to have a look at https://github.com/erezsh/Preql (Same name, same goal, different approach, and already working)

I just came across https://github.com/erezsh/Preql and it seems interesting as well, although not what you are looking for.

I share the author's point of view, which led me to start a new relational programming language that compiles to SQL. It's a way to build on existing databases, like postgres or mysql, with all of their advantages, but improve on many of SQL's limitations. If that sounds interesting, you can find it here: https://github.com/erezsh/Preql

My project is an interpreted query language that compiles to SQL (with support for several backends). It is more capable than ORMs, and provides a layer of abstraction that SQL direly needs but lacks, as well as a shorter syntax, that is in-line with other popular languages. Here is a very early version of it: https://github.com/erezsh/preql I've kept working on it, but privately, and I'm trying to make it into a product. I will probably release it as open-source when it's ready. I still need to figure out the right license, financial model, etc.
