We Can Do Better Than SQL

No.

Having worked with MongoDB for 5+ years now back to PostgreSQL, I do like SQL so much more than a custom query language. I would wish JSON would be better integrated in SQL, it kind of feels like an addon not the core. Otherwise SQL is a fine language.

Also I can leverage 20y of SQL.

EdgeDB is built on postgresql and has excellent JSON integration.

I wish instead of

SELECT to_json('{"hello": "world"}');

it would be

SELECT {"hello": "world"};
