talend

Assume you have a small project which on the surface looks like a good match for an ETL tool like Talend.

But assume further, that you have never used Talend and furthermore, you do not trust "visual programming" tools in general and would rather code everything the old fashioned way (text on a nice IDE!) with the help of an appropriate language & support libraries.

What are some language patterns & support libraries that could help you stay away from the ETL tool temptation/trap?
