As a c# mssql developer I’m not familiar with json or mongodb but I don’t get the meme. What’s wrong with this syntax? It’s readable and relatively concise. Is this a whoosh moment for me? What am I missing?
IMO it’s just so clunky with what feels like way too many extraneous symbols. And that’s just a very simple query, check out the equivalent of a join: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43653679
Granted, joining is not really what Mongo DB is for (that’s the whole point of it being non-relational, after all). But even reaching deep into an object can get you into nesting hell very quickly.

It’s a mess compared to the equivalent SQL.
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age >= 25 AND age <= 30I dislike SQL syntax more than most, and even I concede that SQL wins in this instance.
Edit: Not sure if this appears on all clients but the < in the code block is meant to be a less-than symbol.
There is no way I would ever get the amount of brackets right on that.
