It's very unfortunate that #ask interface and SPARQL are now not connected at all. We have a great deal of result formats for #ask, but #ask is not as powerful as SPARQL and to process complex queries we need to use format=template many times which makes the code less readable.
With SPARQL we can use Spark [1] and Sgvizler [2] but they don't have all these terrific result formats that we have with #ask. I wonder if it's thoretically possible to use our result formats to format sparql queries without rewriting the whole thing?
