I see. But ouch, exactly the same could be said for Haskell no? :) Naaah...
Actually, that is one of the things that is so impressive about Haskell. It starts at such a high level, with such beautiful and powerful abstractions. But if needed, you can optimize down through many layers. All the way down to what they do on the Shootout, where they compete against C. It took a huge amount of effort over many years to achieve that. DB support still has a long way to go, but it is great to see that people are working on it at varying levels of abstraction. -Yitz
