I find the apparently common dislike of SQL surprising. To me, SQL is

It’s not about readability, SQL is very elegant and readable.

it’s about composing the needed query programmatically with minimum

as they are needed, conditionally or in batches.

Whuc, in current Rails, IS clunky.

I think I’ve seen a Query plugin somewhere on the web but I just
