1+# Welcome!

3+Welcome to Rel8! Rel8 is a Haskell library for interacting with PostgreSQL databases, built on top of the fantastic Opaleye library.
4+
5+The main objectives of Rel8 are:
6+
7+* *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.
8+
9+* *Inferrable*: Despite using a lot of type level magic, Rel8 aims to have excellent and predictable type inference.
10+
11+* *Familiar*: writing Rel8 queries should feel like normal Haskell programming.
