bridge-cli VS marten

The Crunchy Bridge CLI is written in crystal: https://github.com/CrunchyData/bridge-cli/. The program that monitors databases is likewise a crystal program.

My biggest grievance with Crystal is the lack of incremental compilation. I understand why it's difficult to achieve given the language model. I've been watching the Crystal Interpreter with interest, it would be pretty cool if it could speed up my `M-x crystal-spec-line` interactions, along with all the other usual benefits of an interpreter.

On the other hand, there's a lot to like about Crystal: it has a convenient yet powerful type system, good error messages, and generates high quality code in a straightforward manner.

The Marten web framework incorporates an intuitive object-relational mapper (ORM), streamlining the development process for users who may not possess extensive knowledge of databases and SQL. To facilitate interactions with collections of model records, Marten introduces a dynamic mechanism called "Query sets". A query set represents a collection of model records in the database. It can have filters, be paginated, sliced, etc. In this guide, we will cover how to leverage such querying capabilities.
