The first piped query language I used was Nushell's implementation of wide-column tables. PRQL offers almost similar approach which I have loved dearly. It also maps to different SQL dialects. There is also proposal to work on type system: https://github.com/PRQL/prql/issues/381.

Google has now proposed a syntax inspired by these approaches. However, I am afraid how well it would be adopted. As someone new to SQL, nearly every DB seem to provide its own SQL dialect which becomes cumbersome very quickly.

Whereas PRQL feels something like Apache Arrow which can map to other dialects.
