@clacke @katafrakt @petecorey "orm vs raw SQL" is a false dichotomy, really. You want some kind of abstraction over the relational model but you don't want the object mapping. I found this from first principles in CL and ended up creating "septeql" (old, unmaintained, zero users) but whether your language has something actually useful in this space is worth investigating. I don't know elixir but Sequel is nice for this in Ruby
