Is there a programming language specifically designed for interacting with SQL databases that avoids the need for Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) to solve impedance mismatch from the start?

If such a language exists, would it be a viable alternative to PHP or Go for a web backend project?

I am not as familiar with RDBMs internals, but you could also build your server in the database. Right now, I am building a server client of sorts with Oxigraph. I have a store object that I am manipulating directly with rust code. It is an option. However its not going to be very flexible, and it does complicate the sanitization issues.

Also, prolog is a complete language, very capable of running the server. I don't know what kind of architecture you are thinking of and having the distinction between datalog on the database and prolog in the server might be problematic. Also, I may be projecting a little. I wish I could be using prolog. But alas.

I thought about Datomic and Clojure.
