Conversely, active record can’t generate the SQL you can learn in a few minutes in a database class. I’d much rather have highly precise sql serialization and deserialization code and emphasis on minimal client overhead in a systems language than the ability to rapidly spike a data model and query it in the space of a PowerPoint slide.
- pantulis 6y agoSure, as with any ORM. But then you have also stated the point: systems language, which is the perfect use case for Rust. The original article talks about a "server language", as in application server, and my whole point was that for building business applications this is a weakness, not a strength.
- monadic2 6y agoI don’t see what excludes building an application server with a systems programming language. Business applications have maintenance costs that the ORM backloads; it’s not like all businesses need to do this. There’s nothing inherently “business logic friendly” about an ORM.
