SA Declarative

[Stéphane Raimbault]

Hi,

What do you think about the declarative plugin?

I find the code clearer and you don't need to scroll up and down between tables, classes and mappers.

I haven't had the chance to experiment with it yet, but a declarative
layer sounds like a good idea.

There's also the popular Elixir declarative layer on top of SQLA (from
the creator of activemapper):

Comparison between the two:

Some critique on both:
