While I am familiar with SQL, I am not familiar with any of the libraries you mention on the wiki page (Ecto, Honey SQL and Slick), so maybe I am not the target audience...
Your sections about "Joins Are Values" and "Aggregates are self-contained" seem difficult to follow: I think I understand the overall idea, but it is not clear from the document how any of it can be useful. Also, it is not clear what `Department?` and `Course?` are in the first code snippet -- are they functions that the user has to provide or is it something that your library generates by looking at the database schema? I would suggest to provide a database schema and some sample data in a database, and use this in the subsequent examples. Start with a simple but complete working example and construct more complex, but still complete and working examples from them, at each step illustrating the benefits that the library provides. Maybe contrast each step with how the plain SQL would look as well? Alex.
