The problem I see with the WDQ language is the need to perform error-prone custom quoting and serialization in clients. For numeric identifiers this might not be so bad, but strings, dates etc will need escaping. JSON basically avoids these issues by letting the JSON serializer / parser deal with it. We could still compile a more human-friendly DSL like the WDQ language to JSON, but forcing every client to deal with custom escaping and serialization issues does not sound like a great idea for a public API.
