"Indecipherable string" to me means you likely don't understand the language or how it works. The language itself works very well for what it needs to do.

It does not work the same way as something like parsing an object and manipulating it in python. It is a query language. You are building up a result not manipulating objects.

Definitely unintuitive if you are coming from a programming language. Once learned it makes a lot more sense and is even preferable depending on your needs.
