Re:Defql: SQL Queries as Elixir Functions by davelnewton on Monday January 23, 2017 @11:14AM (#13463173)
This isn't SQL as a body, it's an interpolated (and hopefully properly-escaped) string that ends up being SQL. IMO there's a big difference. (Also, Ecto isn't an ORM, by definition.)

I don't yet understand how this helps me.

* Ecto's DSL is thin

* The DSL is Elixir, so the IDE/editor helps me

* SQL embedded in a string is sort-of SQL, but invisible to the IDE

It seems like the worst of both worlds.
