I see a lot of Stockholm syndrome in this thread / maybe low expectations.

Many people are saying SQL isn't that hard to learn but as someone who is new to SQL, I disagree.

It takes a max of 15 minutes to understand basic JavaScript/Go/Python primitives and write a program. SQL on the other hand seems much more complex. I might as well be reading Haskell or Lisp. At least those languages are consistent.

SQL does not feel like a language where I can learn a few primitives really quickly and compose them together.
