Nice work. A few months back, I experimented with having a DSL like PRQL in Postgres, but back then, I found the language a bit cumbersome; however, it was great as an idea. IMHO, the best "data transformation" language is jq and awk is second.

PRQL and EdgeQL (EdgeDB) are the most interesting ones to watch how they evolve, though.

I've also written a PG extension to make jq available in Postgres [0]

I believe Postgres, in general, will flourish as a host for DSL languages [1].
