    Looks very nice. Last year I took up rust, coming from c++, and some of the modern features rust brings are just so nice to have (even something as simple as not having to forward declare a class).

    This year I started working with postgres and you just can't help but notice how sql is coming from the c-Era of programming. Having better and more modern ways to express my queries would be great to improve correctness and performance.

    I was hoping for an alternative to PLSQL or stored procedures. But this isn’t about „Database Programming“, it’s a SQL replacement…

    So this is capable of turning a one-liner of SQL into six lines of barely readable code?
