Could JOOQ be considered a kind of language for the &quot;elite&quot; in that respect?<p>Those that want the extra power to write queries quickly with type safety etc instead of manually crafting the java&#x2F;sql interface. That extra speed was one of the reasons I looked at JOOQ.<p>I do like your idea, I guess I&#x27;ve made similar judgement calls in the past. I know some mainstream languages for the popularity power it gives me but for use cases where I think I can find a technical advantage I seek out new ideas&#x2F;languages for that edge.
