This whole thread has already discussed and showed that D
operator overloading is lacking in terms of expression
templates. The post by Chris assumes no language changes. If D
supported overloading all operators the opEquals method would
not return true, it would return a proxy that overloaded the ||
operator. The whole lambda expression would only generate a
single query. The rest of the post falls apart from this
mistake.
But most of the posts are related to DSL (->SQL). What do you
think about solution where no DSL, VM or other intermediate layer
is used?
Also I have a theory that SQL appeared because of limiting
expressiveness of other programming languages (like C) ;)
