Man, I'm gonna give SQLAlchemy another try after this release i think.
I've not been able to shake the simplicity and intuitiveness of the Django ORM. The fact is in most apps you just need the basic stuff. But you do hit the limitations too quickly. SQLAlchemy always felt like too big/crufty a tool to use at the early stages.
OTOH when I've wanted to make serious sql-based tools it's been invaluable. I hope it'll lend itself better to the simpler use cases, I'd love to switch my default backend stack to FastAPI with SQLAlchemy.

- iainctduncan 6y agoIMHO once you understand it well, even for simple things the Django ORM will drive you nuts. It's just a really limiting design compared to SQLAlchemy's data mapper.
