It wasn't one lazy sentence, it was a paragraph. I don't think he was claiming that you can't use DSLs or ORMs successfully. This is just a quick opinion piece.

It wasn't one lazy sentence, it was a paragraph. I don't think he was claiming that you can't use DSLs or ORMs successfully. This is just a quick opinion piece. Not all writing needs to be a thoroughly researched debate defense. I personally didn't already agree with what he wrote, but there was enough in it to make me think about the topic a little more and shift more toward his position. I already know what ORM code and raw SQL calls look like without him providing examples.

> I already know what ORM code and raw SQL calls look like without him providing examples. I do too and code that not only uses raw SQL (not that big a deal in and of itself) but also reinvents the whole persistence layer (which is the whole part of "ORM" that has nothing to do with writing SELECT statements or using DSLs) is a complete mess. I really want to see the examples so I can learn from them and perhaps have it contribute back to my own ORM project (SQLAlchemy).
