Just like how he reached for PyUnit for "readability counts", I definitely think of ORMs over raw SQL when it comes to "readability counts". Especially when you're actually working with data, not just the table creation step.
- endtime 16y agoAgreed completely. The difference between a good ORM and raw SQL is like the difference between, well, Python and assembly, IMO. Perhaps the difference is a little less extreme, but it's similar in spirit.
- coolgeek 16y agoer, as someone who did much database access in assembler, I'm going to have to disagree with your analogy. You could argue "between Python and C"... but most certainly NOT assembler
- endtime 16y agoWow, I'm sorry you had to do that, haha. Python and C is surely a more reasonable comparison in terms of actual ease of use; I was thinking in terms of "raw instructions" versus "high level abstraction".
