I've returned to SQL after years of "lazily" enjoying NoSQL and I gotta say, SQL would do well to stop relying on a thesaurus. It feels like I'm writing COBOL. I don't understand why I need to feed English to a Zork parser when I know exactly what operation to perform. An opcode with some arguments would be preferable to writing a poem and hoping it gets interpreted how I meant.
