Came here to mention Malloy. Which is from the team that built Looker, which Google acquired. The Looker CTO founder then started (joined?) Malloy. And … he recently 6mo ago moved from Google to Meta.

Also for those playing along at home - a few other related tools for “doing more with queries”.

- AtScale - a semantic layer not dissimilar to LookML but with a good engine to optimize pre building the aggregates and routing queries among sql engines for perf.

- SDF - a team that left Meta to make a commercial offering for a sql parser and related tools. Say to help make dbt better.
