  1. prql

    PRQL is a modern language for transforming data — a simple, powerful, pipelined SQL replacement

    I feel the same way about SQL too, it's set and difficult to shift. But I also look at PRQL longingly - https://prql-lang.org/

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.

  3. duckdb-wasm

    WebAssembly version of DuckDB

    DuckDB has this feature:

    duckdb> select 1,2,;

    returns 1 and 2

    https://shell.duckdb.org

  4. jsonlines

    Documentation for the JSON Lines text file format

    You probably want jsonlines. Being able to open a file in append mode without needing to parse the whole thing is great.

    https://jsonlines.org/

  5. ClickHouse

    ClickHouse® is a real-time analytics database management system

    ClickHouse has support for trailing commas for several years.

    I recommend looking at ClickHouse (https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/) as an example of a modern SQL database that emphasizes developer experience, performance, and quality-of-life improvements.

    I'm the author of ClickHouse, and I'm happy to see that its innovation has been inspired and adopted in other database management systems.

  6. xtdb

    An immutable SQL database for application development, time-travel reporting and data compliance. Developed by @juxt

    In XTDB you can now use (trailing) commas instead of AND: https://github.com/xtdb/xtdb/pull/3985
