I don't claim to be an expert in either Greek or Italian .. but when
I'm in Greece I try to speak Greek, and when in Italy - Italian :)
Maybe I am just too used to it, but personally I think that SQL is
excellent at performing the task it was designed to perform. The fact
that it is not the "same" as other programming languages might have
something to do with the nature of the tasks I write it to perform. I
guess when I learn new languages I try to get the most out of them as
they are, at the end of the day there is a reason why I learned the
language and usually it involves earning a pay cheque.
Maybe I am too young (or too busy) to have had many late nights
pondering how much better my life would be if some giant corporation
would ask its developers to communicate more :)
