My first thought is to scream in horror as Bobby Tables says hi to "string interpolation". complaining about evil ORMs and then just asking to get taken to the cleaners...
I really feel like a good chunk of the discussions around ORM/not ORM and such are because the core method of interacting with our databases sucks.
Passing strings around is an awful interface, and maybe if we explored the space to fix that, a good chunk of these subsequent problems would be obviated.
