this basically xml being made to look like SQL. It's gross and that's why it's funny

SQL is run on the server to communicate with a database. The screenshot is jsx, which is a front-end, UI templating language. Writing SQL this way is cursed

It could be querying the in-browser database (that's commonly used, such as with WhatsApp web), which would be seeded by a different part of the application

Except that's still a SQL dialect, not JSX. There's no need to make this JSX.

SQL is supposed to look like this: SELECT status, name FROM some_table LIMIT 5
