It's not as elegant as PRQL, because of course it's bolted onto the existing SQL syntax, rather than a redesign from scratch. But it has a big name behind it, and it's actually running in prod in Google Cloud... so it might have more momentum.

I always find that funny. If you have to provide a pronunciation guide for your product, perhaps consider a different name. I guarantee you’ll still have people pronouncing each individual letter, either because they don’t know or because it’ll be less ambiguous.

But even then, it makes sense to choose to pronounce it “the wrong way”. I say “sequelite” because that’s fairly clear in context, but “sequel” might not be so I pronounce each letter in that case.
Did know PNG is supposed to be pronounced “ping”? I don’t know anyone who chooses to do that, even if they know.

Even people who know because then they have to explain it which wastes time for no benefit.
