Within popular application languages, for any given paradigm, there are almost always several languages that aren't merely dialects of each other. C# isn't a dialect of Java. Ruby isn't a dialect of Python. Rust isn't a dialect of C++.
PRQL demonstrates that a set-oriented declarative language need not be a dialect of SQL and isn't the first language to do so (QUEL appeared in the 1970s). It seems odd to me these alternatives haven't gained much popularity.
