I agree and it's what I've used for all of my pet clojure projects that need to talk to a database. However, the drawback it suffers versus a lot of the approaches taking by most of the alternative libraries is that it doesn't provide any way to compose queries.

I'm talking about the kind of stuff something like Korma or SQLAlchemy enable where you build up a query to be executed dynamically based on, for example, user filters.

I haven't need anything like that on any of my pet projects so I've been deliriously happy with Yesql. But, while working on those pet projects I do often find myself thinking about whatever I'm doing in my day job and I haven't come up with a good way to support composability within the context of Yesql. I would love to see a solution to that.
