Hi Jake, Thanks for your nice words. Many years ago, when jOOQ was created in 2009, jOOQ and QueryDSL have been somewhat similar frameworks in scope and vision. In fact, there were many excellent ideas in QueryDSL, which we took inspiration from to improve jOOQ at the time.
I think it is fair to say that today, jOOQ's community and feature scope is quite larger. At the same time, no one with commercial interests is currently pushing QueryDSL - it still seems to be an individual side-project effort. Interestingly, 2 years ago, QueryDSL was officially announced "feature complete": http://blog.jooq.org/2014/05/29/querydsl-vs-jooq-feature-completeness-vs-now-more-than-ever So, I'm guessing that we won't see too many big improvements to QueryDSL in the near future. We have great plans with jOOQ. Much like Hibernate became the de-facto object graph persistence solution for Java (despite JPA), jOOQ should become the de-facto SQL solution for Java, making the SQL language a first class citizen for applications where SQL does matter. In any case, I wish you a lot of success for your continued evaluation. Should you have any additional questions, just ask, and we'll be very happy to help.
