I recently started using honeysql and so far it has been great.

There is some learning curve figuring put how things work, but the advantages of having SQL encoded as clojure data are worth it, in my opinion:

- s-expressions everywhere means that structural editing works

- allows for easy composing of sql queries - can very easily add custom filters, joins, etc and build up queries dynamically

- can easily add abstractions, for example something like https://github.com/metabase/toucan/blob/master/README.md
