I was explaining why it is the way that it is. If you'd like your own version of a parser, here's Postgres' [0]. Personally, I really like SQL's syntax and find that it makes sense when reading it.
There was not argument about how much sense it makes. There was an argument for improving readability by placing the table names first.
Lots of people “like” things because they are familiar with them. And that’s a fine enough reason. But if you step out of your zone of familiarity, can you find improvements? Are you willing to forgo any prejudice you may possess to evaluate other suggestions?
Just a little willingness to see another perspective is all anyone asks.
I'm saying the historical reason for why it is the way it is, doesn't matter. I would hope we design our languages to be maximally clear and useful, not to be maximally full of historical cruft.
There's no accounting for taste, so you're welcome to like whatever you like, but I don't think you liking a backward syntax is particularly persuasive. It sounds more like you're just used to it than that you see any actual benefits to it.
