Agree, definitely amazing feature. In the Python API you can get somewhere close with this kind of thing:
input_data = duckdb.sql("SELECT * FROM read_parquet('...')")
step_1 = duckdb.sql("SELECT ... FROM input_data JOIN ...")
step_2 = duckdb.sql("SELECT ... FROM step_1")
final = duckdb.sql("SELECT ... FROM step_2;")
