Is there a programming language specifically designed for interacting with SQL databases? (lemmy.one)

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 are one of the worst things ever created IMO. Sure they’re great to turn structured data storage into objects and methods that developers are used to, but every single one of them scales for crap and I can’t tell you the number of projects we have to go back and fix to be straight up raw SQL once it starts growing and becomes a bottleneck.

(I’ll get off my soapbox now)

It's just a performance to development time trade off. Clearly the product was successful enough to demand coming back to improve the performance. Lots of software fails before it even reaches that point.
