Now we just need a healthy SQL transpiler ecosystem so we can all live in the future!


This was my first thought as well. I like the language, but I’m hesitant to adopt it without tooling that can extract an AST, ideally interoperable with the hard-won tooling we already have for SQL.

Improved UX at query development time is nice, but data teams need so much more than this. Stuff like lineage, linting, cross-dialect interop - these are no longer niche concerns, they are table stakes, and they come from having a shared syntax for data transformation.


Yes, and to try new features to see if they gain traction before standardization.
