From First Principles: Why Scala?

I've heard that too but I think there are at least efforts to support Scala 3.

Having said that I think Quill looks nicer (https://getquill.io/) if you want a DSL like that.

I haven't used it heavily but one of our newer microservices uses Quill for read-only access to Postgres. I have found it to be great to work with, to combination of "just use case classes" and a DSL that feels like writing SQL is pretty nice.

You can have Quill syntax for Doobie nowadays:

That's by far the best DB access layer I've ever worked with.
