At least with the substrait[0] project there is some push for standardization & interoperability when it comes to the relation algebra and query plan.
I think this can unlock a lot more experimentation when it comes to SQL-alternative "languages" or approaches where plain text languages are just skipped all-together and are instead replaced by good libraries that act directly on query plans.
