Companies selling these query languages that are “just like SQL” feeling a lot like those friends in my 20s that tried to tell me I looked “just like Ewan McGregor.”

Course, that was during Trainspotting, and the analogy holds up because at best these are SQL if it was skinny, sick-looking, and doing its best impression of a hardcore drug addict.

Got what I might call “a short-term solution” for a Starlark limitation (why didn’t they just use Python)

It worked?
