            it. When I was working among java programmers, I noticed
            that they hated SQL, but there was no problem with learning
            HQL, which in fact is quite similar. I really have no idea
            why it is like that.
          

    Similar here. IMHO it is called "job trends hype". Look at all the
    linkedin ads, less than 1% is about Pgsql/DBs, 99% is about app
    coders. Ok rough numbers, but it reflects reality. One of my past
    programmers (a fine kid always looking to learn) now writes IOS and
    Android apps in another country. Another one who didn't do much well
    with SQL, but rock-star programmer otherwise, now writes _javascript_
    in another company.
