Jooq is great and sooner or later it will end up looking like this http://getquill.io

Quill is really neat and I agree that it's a lot further down the road than most libraries like this.

But it all feels a bit too "magical" for me. Seems like you're trading one class of bugs - hand-written SQL mismatching your types - for another - this magic doing something unexpected when you try to do something weird. But maybe it's really really good and that second class of bug never happens. I'm just hesitant (and happy with doobie for now).

maybe, but quill can verify queries at compile time, plus you can view generated sql

No

care to elaborate?

The point of jOOQ is for developers to write SQL (almost) exactly as if Java natively supported the SQL language. Not hide SQL behind some "more idiomatic" collection API.

So, jOOQ will never become quill or end up looking like it.
