Adding another one which I'm one of the authors of: https://github.com/cube2222/octosql/

It tries to provide ergonomic data munching of various formats, but using a sql interface, which most will probably feel immediately at home with.



With respect, who actually feels at home with SQL?

It's about the most alien and obtuse language I've ever had the misfortune of encountering, and in that category I rate it worse than COBOL, FORTRAN, Assembly, C, Prolog, Sendmail re-write rules, BASH, and every other language I've ever encountered and had to use, but which I cannot recall at the moment.


> With respect, who actually feels at home with SQL?

So many data analysts that each time a new analytical database engine comes out it needs to support SQL or something like it to get any mindshare.


SQL gets rather mistifying when you move towards some complex joins and data mapping. PSQL can also feel Sadly out of place.

But their is real nice clarit in what you want at its foundation.


I am! SQL is the language of data and analytics and it can be quite a joy to use. But maybe I've just Stockholm'd myself into liking it.
