A rant against the proliferation of custom query languages and ORMs in software tools. The author argues that SQL is a well-understood, standardized language that everyone knows, yet developers are forced to learn dozens of proprietary DSLs across SaaS products, databases, and ORMs. The post criticizes ORMs for obscuring query performance, generating inefficient SQL, and adding unnecessary complexity. The author calls for SaaS products to offer data export to SQL-based databases, a moratorium on new query languages, and wider adoption of embedded SQL over ORMs.
