Welcome to Rel8!
================
Welcome to Rel8! Rel8 is a Haskell library for interacting with PostgreSQL
databases, built on top of the fantastic `Opaleye
<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/opaleye>`_ library.
The main objectives of Rel8 are:
* *Conciseness*: Users using Rel8 should not need to write boiler-plate code.
By using expressive types, we can provide sufficient information for the
compiler to infer code whenever possible.
* *Inferrable*: Despite using a lot of type level magic, Rel8 aims to have
excellent and predictable type inference.
* *Familiar*: writing Rel8 queries should feel like normal Haskell programming.
