You missed the point - both SQL & CQL are declarative languages.

Not supporting WHERE, GROUP BY, all aggregate functions, almost all other "standard" functions, most forms of DISTINCT, ORDER BY (except one order defined at table create time), all forms of sub-select/CTEs, etc. is pedantry?

OK. :)
