I find SQL harder to work with because I'm used to reading and writing functions - functions that have explicit parameters with (hopefully) explicit types, and explicit return types.

So I was hoping PRQL might have some sugar like that.

It'd be nicer for my brain if I could treat any select like a function that transforms a set. Instead, even with PRQL, I'm stuck examining source tables and fully understanding them before being able to understand the query.
