I've never been a fan of codegen, but I think I could get past it for this library - it looks great!

I love how it let's you use SQL, while taking full advantage of TypeScript's wonderful typing system to give you intellisense and compile-time checking. Reminds me a bit of the SQL type provider for F# (which I was amazed by when I first saw it in action).

I really like the way the readme has been written too - it gives a real insight into the thought processes that led to the final result.

Good news. :)

Maybe we can agree that typegen smells less than codegen?

I should look that up — sounds interesting.
