I’ve been following this closely. Out of all the SQL replacements I’ve seen, I think this has the best chance at succeeding, since it transpiles easily to SQL and it’s not tied to any particular DB or tool.

For HackerNews enthusiasts

• The PRQL compiler is written in Rust
• We talk about “orthogonal language features” a lot

Love this. I haven’t written any R code in years, but I do miss the simple and intuitive syntax of dplyr and the rest of the tidyverse. PRQL looks like it is built on the same philosophy. Can’t wait for it to get fully integrated into dbt.
