Way to absolutely miss the point. The previous poster is speaking about code generation, particularly that of generating appropriate SQL statements for given programs. He mentions a specific Lisp library as one solution and suggests ORM as another. Prepared statements are a better solution if the database supports them, yes, though occasionally, you might want to do more than just plug in search values. When you attempt to make a language more like English, you inadvertently make it's parse tree more complex, therefore making attempts to manipulate that code more difficult. SQL, which is often generated on the fly, is affected by this.
