I think the bigger problem is that SQL is in almost every language a second-class citizen. And even calling it second-class can be seen as a stretch.

I’m a SQL-lover and ORM-hater but I don’t see why any language would support another wholly different language as a first-class citizen.

Ideally, SQL wouldn’t be a wholly different language, but a library with bindings for various languages.

That's why it's called SQL aka String Query Language. The queries are just strings.

Are you being cheeky? The S stands for Structured.
