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?

ORMs should be made illegal. They make you learn sql then how to translate that to the ORM.

The absolutely worst thing about them is they claim to be database engine agnostic. Surey the most basic stuff maybe, but make your queries a tad bit advanced and it stops working on different database engine. Also, how often do you switch to a database engine that is so much different from your existing one? I hate using Doctrine, stupid query builders make me develop twice as slow. On the other hand, Eloquent is kind of nice and has an easy way to write raw SQL queries.
