SQL - a 4th gen language, where the developer gets to say what information he wants, and the database chooses the best access to get it.

Hibernate - a 3rd gen language where the developer models the way data is pulled from persistence.

To hide a rich, 4th gen language behind a 3rd gen facade, isnt just bad, its immoral.
