Interesting library Andy. I as well have run into the 'learn SQL engine AND query builder API" issue in the past. If you target this library squarely in the 'you have to know your SQL' and keep high performance I think you could be on to something here.

Good point, David. One thing that jumps to my mind:

The "keep high performance" part makes perfect sense, but even if that's not your ambition you might still prefer SQL over any query builder's custom API.

Would you agree? Of course you would also want to have some simple IDE integration for a better dev experience. I think this can be solved with reasonable effort, though.
