Kusto, the Azure query language for data analysis uses that form with piping as well.

Also the LINQ approach in .NET.

I do agree, that is about time that SQL could have a variant starting with FROM, and it shouldn't be that hard to support that, it feels like unwillingness to improve the experience.

Kusto is so much vetter than it has any right to be! Normally I'd run a mile at a cloud provider specific programming language that can't ve used elsewhere, but it really is quite nice! (there are some wierd quirks, but a tonne less than I'd have thought)

I love working with KQL, it’s a very expressive query language.
