Where possible on the tests, we tried to use something other than raw SQL because we wouldn't expect someone to use raw SQL everywhere when writing a real application. We chose Korma because it seemed decently popular for Clojure, but we're certainly open to a "compojure-raw" test that uses clojure/java.jdbc. Feel free to submit a pull request. :)

I'm not saying Korma isn't a good or realistic choice. I use it myself. There did seem to be some disagreement in freenode #clojure about whether that was the best way to go, or JDBC and prepared statements. Evidently, a lot of people actually do like SQL.

It's just important for people to be aware that "Compojure" actually represents "one possible production-ready stack that uses Compojure as the routing component", as do several other items on the list. I don't mean that as a criticism - just clarification.
