Glad to see folks critique traditional ORM tropes and putting forward some innovation in the area. On that note, as a highly subjective opinion, I have really soured on the philosophy that guides many popular ORMs. Relational data does not map to OOP well, and I think the point is not to actually force that. Instead, I think there are ways to embrace the relational model, because it is actually quite apt for many business cases. For those further interested in the general topic of alternate ORM approaches, here is a link to a proof of concept from a while back, when I was exploring how to express column-driven data in Java code: https://github.com/fxrm/fxrm-store-java https://github.com/fxrm/fxrm-store-java This is not to hijack attention from the OP idea, of course; just noting that this is still a fruitful area of improvement in software.
