The SEMI and ANTI joins are great for filtering data based on the existence of data in another table.

Confusingly, SEMI and ANTI joins aren't really "joins". There's a traditional way of implementing SEMI/ANTI joins that all databases will support, and a few databases (like DuckDB!) actually provide SEMI/ANTI join types to make the SQL a little more friendly.
