Thinking about this more, here a list of things I imagine a "compile-to-sql" plugin would want to do:

  1. Attach itself to the SQL code editor (switch from SQL -> PRQL/Logica, additional syntax highlighting)
  2. Add "Query using PRQL" buttons in various parts of Datasette's UI, like /dbname page
  3. Use $LANGUAGE= instead of sql= in the JSON API and the SQL results pages
  4. Have their own dedicated code editor page

1) and 2) would be difficult to do with current plugin hooks, unless we add the concept of "slots" and get the JS plugin support in. 3) could maybe be done with the asgi_wrapper(datasette) hook? And 4) ca n be done easily with the register_routes() hooks.

So it really only sounds like extending the SQL editor will be the hard part. In #2094 I want to add JavaScript plugin hooks for extending the SQL editor, which may work here.

If I get the time/motivation, I might try out a datasette-prql extension, just because I like playing with it. It'd be really cool if I can get the asgi_wrapper() hook to work right there...
