The problem with SQL is it seems everyone hates its guts. It is a weird obtuse kind of "non-language" that most programmers can't stand.
I'm baffled. I'm a programmer and i rather like SQL. Most programmers i know use SQL quite happily. Indeed, i often hear them wishing they could just write SQL to solve some problem rather than use some API that purports to save you from writing SQL.
I certainly prefer SQL to MongoDB's query language, which is verbose and unexpressive by comparison.
Am i in a tiny minority? Or is this SQL hatred a popular myth?
