SQL to RA is definitely quite a task, but it was pretty fun (up until the end, when it just started getting annoying...). Then again, I think compilers and programming languages are a blast anyway. Haskell makes it even more so :)
When I wrote this code, I wasn't really comfortable using monads, so all of the threading is explicit. If I were to revisit it, I would probably use a state monad, which might also make it easier to make it tail-recursive (as it is, my desugarer is not written in a tail-recursive manner).
