As a general note, the code there is an initial more exploratory api. It definitely could be simplified (solid bits of extra noise in it).

That said, it does have the fundamental issue of the query is just a string and the code author has to fundamentally deal with correctly specifying what the return type is. Technically a fancier query builder could be defined that removes the sql and instead defines both the query and return type at once to avoid the double specification.

Otherwise, something like squirrel would 100% be doable in roc. [Something similar](https://github.com/isaacvando/rtl) already exists for templating in roc via code gen.
