The demise of SQL has been greatly exaggerated. If somebody wants to actually propose something better, the threshold is high. They should publish:

- A tool which transpiles their new language into (multiple versions of) SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL - This tool should always produce a correct result (Modernizr) or a specific error (e.g. upgrade MySQL to XX+ to use `NEW_LANGUAGE_CODE_SNIPPET` JSON functions) - A separate tool that up-piles SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL to the new language, possibly exploiting new streamlined expressions - An editor with IntelliSense for the new language

Even then you can probably achieve a lot value just by inputting table joins before the developer starts editing code.

If you're not doing that then you are just keyword spamming by mentioning SQL.
