I am grateful for #jank and @jeaye for building it. Jeaye taught me many things about compilers that I have always been interested in. This brings me closer to understanding how machines work and understand our languages. Thanks for your patience and mentorship, Jeaye! ❤️

Thankful and grateful for the existence of next.jdbc and honey.sql
It's so powerful and flexible that it made possible for queries that i wouldn't know how to make otherwise.
Had to use 103 tables (looong story) with slightly different data and schemas to create 1 single output. Query had to be dynamic so that filtering/search can be used.
Amazing work with the libs!

To represent external languages in native data structures (a la HoneySQL/Hiccup) is IMHO an underhyped idea. It's an insight that has had a major impact on how I think about code, second only to Clojure itself.

Do you mean honey.sql?
lepistane 2025-05-11T09:21:22.107009Z
well both actually

The dynamic queries you talked about reminded me more about honey.sql so I wondered
