This is awesome, I really like the ML syntactic approach. I also really like the composability. I might just have to sign myself up as a contributor, because this checks off a huge chunk of my list of things that is wrong with SQL, and I'd love to see this succeed.

I know this is meant to transpile to SQL and so maybe this language is the wrong place to do this, but my biggest pet peeve with SQL is the ternary logic introduced by SQL nullability. I'm begging and pleading for this wart to go away, and I would love to see some algebraic sum types (Optional/Maybe, etc.) used in their place.
