You are right we are actually from the same clan which prefers pure SQL over another DSL.
FWIW, google does take the same approach as skeema to describe the desired schema state with pure SQL. But it's the Google Spanner does the heavy lifting. And that adds more respect for your work on skeema, since skeema is doing the heavy lifting from the tooling side, which in my opinion is more challenge.
BTW, I also need to disclose that I am currently building bytebase.com which is also a schema migration tool.
