Great comment! I’ve been thinking about a tangentially related subject: TypeScript is like a relational database (and other structural statically typed languages) of your application behavior, allowing you to query the current possible states of your data at any given point in your application code. I’ve been thinking about this more since TypeScript got template-string generics, and folks have experimented with eg type-checking SQL strings back into application code. This is the piece that draws me to an ORM: that it brings the “relational model” into application code, NOT the “object” part of an ORM. Does anyone have any opinions about which language ecosystems create the most effective type-mappings between a RDBMS and application language? Part of me also wonders if there’s a ton of time lost on mapping between languages like this when the tooling that’s really missing (afaik) is better tooling for producing, consuming, and generally interacting with SQL and db schemas as the data runs through your application pipeline.
