The ergonomics issue of SQL can be workaround by transpiler.
I do like SQL the syntax but it's hard to discard the ecosystem around SQL.
For instance, I made better-sql [1] recently which generate SQL from a language similar to GraphQL and EdgeDB query language.

I'm working on a npm package [1] that "transpile" from a syntax inspired by edgedb into raw sql. I've implemented select columns, join tables and where statements. Still having more to work on (e.g. order by, group by, aggregate function, and more important, the readme)

The initial schema creation is somewhat slow because the CLI is taking the slow route currently. Will be fixed soon in https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-cli/issues/652
