TypeScript is more verbose than JavaScript. While I love to use TypeScript I don't think I'd categorize it as prettier than JavaScript. And practical... well if you mean it is more maintainable then yes but if you mean faster to write then no.

I don't want a more verbose SQL I want a less verbose SQL!

I meant more the aspect that with TypeScript people would prefer to write in it and then compile to JavaScript because there is a benefit. With a PRQL with an SQL compilation target we would reap the benefit of a more practical and better syntax. In both cases they bring benefits but not in the same way.

A little off topic, but I have created many databases by writing and converting simple text to database scripts
