Why change the language if you can just use a query builder? I really liked [Knex](https://knexjs.org/guide/query-builder.html) at my previous job.

That's a great point. I took the lack of composability for granted. I'm sure there are awesome alternatives aimed at fixing that.

I think my beef with SQL is that wherever I've seen it used, complex queries are often written out entirely in a single chunk of code.  Not sure if the language doesn't lend itself well to modularity, but these chunky queries always seemed hard to decipher and thus error prone.
