Ecto: A language integrated query for Elixir
summary
Ecto claims a language-integrated style for relational SQL in Elixir and shows concrete outcomes: composable query objects that are manipulated then executed by a repo, composability enabled by macros and a Queryable protocol that requires to_query, runtime safety with SQL-escaping via ^ and type checks, a working Postgres adapter that uses Postgres with poolboy connection pools and supervisor trees, and a model/entity split that yields explicit functions for validation and callbacks rather than hidden object coupling.
