sqlc generates **fully type-safe idiomatic Go code** from SQL. Here's how it
works:

1. You write SQL queries
2. You run sqlc to generate Go code that presents type-safe interfaces to those
   queries
3. You write application code that calls the methods sqlc generated

Seriously, it's that easy. You don't have to write any boilerplate SQL querying
code ever again.
