As a non-SQL expert who's used postgres since 1997 I've come to believe the
basic issue is that SQL is based on sets, neither procedural or object
oriented. Few people think in sets so they try to fit SQL into what they
know rather than understand the how sets work.
Yes, that's 100% correct. As per the general discussion, it's not like WE decide what language/tech will be used, or not. If a sufficient number of customers begin to offer well paid jobs for <whatever>, we will see a huge run to learn <whatever>, and that's about it. In the end we all work for the money, and language X may be the eighth wonder of the entire galaxy, but if it doesn't deliver well paid jobs, nobody will bother learning it.
