Description

Typing out the relational algebra operators can be tedious. We could make it less tedious by integrating with Haskell language features such as infix operators for binary operators and optionally tighter type checking (with attribute names) for common cases. Examine vinyl-records for type-checking.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate vinyl records for type checking and implement infix operators for relational algebra operators to reduce verbosity.
