In SQL you can nest statements use views, outer joins. Some new features include window functions. In a single SQL statement you can get a lot of functionality that would take many more lines of code in an imperative language. Plus the database has statistics on data distribution that is used to order the file access. Once your data makes it to the imperative language. The order of execution of for example, looping constructs, is hard-coded. And I could go on. I have to say ORM writers have done wonders with imperative languages. They are perfectly usable and in production in many places. I just want something even better. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
