That kind of wrapper around SQL can be useful, but it doesn't
actually do anything about the hate that is SQL. The big problem with
the SQL select statement is that it
I'd love to access a database using code like:
(select column-list selector-expression)
(with table selector-expression)
(group column-list query grouping-expression)
(order query order-list)
(join query-list join-expression)
erlsql[0] attempts to add this type of syntax to Erlang, but does so

Why does it take 100% of the CPU for 10 minutes to download an 85MB
update? That's not even installing it – just downloading it. I'm
pretty sure wget doesn't use 100% of the CPU. Safari might use 100%
of physical memory doing that, but still not 100% of the CPU.
What the hell, Adobe?
It's converting the bits into beautifully rendered PDF images of bits
for downloading them?

I think any time SQL is involved in a hate, you need to hate the
people who designed SQL for trying to make it "user-friendly" and
english-like instead of defining a statement syntax that clearly
distinguished components of a statement and sticking to it.
None of these optional "noise" word

While I'm on a roll, why not throw some hate at F-Spot.
Most of my photos have the date taken stored with other metadata as part of

the photo was taken on January 1, 1980. It's certainly not the file date,
