Julia programmers sometimes need to interrogate data with the Structured Query Language (SQL). But SQL is notoriously hard to write in a modular fashion. There is no way to reuse SQL query fragments among different queries.
FunSQL exposes full expressive power of SQL with a compositional semantics. FunSQL allows you to build queries incrementally from small independent fragments. This approach is particularly useful for building applications that programmatically construct SQL queries.
HypertextLiteral is a Julia package for generating HTML, SVG, and other SGML tagged content. It works similar to Julia string interpolation, appropriately escaping interpolated values and providing handy data conversions dependent upon context. The implementation compiles templates to functions, with a custom IO proxy for escaping.
For those building dynamic hypertext, HTL is fast: 40x faster than object-based serializations; 8x faster than naive list comprehensions with string interpolation.
