> SQL is a little language for describing database operations

Yeah, SQL is not a little language anymore.

It started as one, but because a lot has been added to it and SQL flavors for Oracle or Postgres are anything but tiny. Windowing, nesting, json handling...

I think the author is kinda proving with this that a successful little language does not stay little, and hence little languages are not the future.

And don't get me started on DSL in general. Just lookup my username and "DSL" on hackernews for endless rambling.
