Hey Max,

Thanks a lot for your very nice words. This is greatly appreciated!

I always see room for improvement, even in a compliment, though :) May I
ask, what's the biggest part of jOOQ having its learning curve? Is there
anything that you can still recall now, after 2.5 years, that you think
could be improved for new users? Can the "JOOQ Way" of doing things be
conveyed more easily?

Cheers,
Lukas
