Embedded SQL, call API with static SQL, call API with dynamic SQL only
dynamic non-data and call API with dynamic SQL and dynamic data all
embed SQL in Cobol/C/Java/PHP/Python/whatever.

All just so clunky, as we have already seen.

Even ORM's tend to embed a language. Either SQL or something ORM
specific: EJBQL, HQL, JPQL, JDOQL, JDQL, DQL etc..

ORMs are a waste of time. I’ve seen how they deal with complex queries --
it’s just re-expressing the complexity of SQL in another equally complex
form.

So nobody seems afraid of embedding SQL.

They are afraid of doing it dynamically, though.

The style you propose match pretty well how PHP developers did things
back in the 00's. They learned that it was not good.

Because ... PHP.
