I like privacy so I don't use twitter, not sure how else to contact you.
I'vbe written what amounts to a large chunk of BQL, enough to write the back-end of a small app in it.
It not BQL, more like SQL++ but has foreign key joins, simplified variable decls (buit no type inference, could be done but don't like it), much better procedural decls/calls than in TSQL, it doesn't have resultset variables but it does have temporary views which can be parameterised with scalars or more importantly, non-scalar items like tables, views or other temp views. It does more. It does not however try to add c-like syntax to anything, although that is doable.
NB NO IMPLICIT TYPE COERECION nor will there ever be. It's just too dangerous.
Not yet public but getting close. Description doc available, also a demo if you want.
Email is rxtxmx4x4x3x_gxmxaxixl_cxoxm (remove hundreds and do the obvious). If not interested, please just close and ignore. Sorry for the weird approach.

NB. per your blog post http://intelligiblebabble.com/3-tricks-to-get-more-out-of-sql-server-in-common-web-scenarios/, please see https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3074/use-caution-with-sql-servers-merge-statement/ which is why I never used merge in TSQL, and BTW there's another problem with it.

Hope to hear from you.

Hi, Thanks for the article and code, a noble goal indeed.

I don't see a choice of license for the code, which I think would be important to encourage contributions and reuse of your ideas. I suggest something with minimal restrictions like MIT or BSD.
