Enough people have had bad experiences with ORMs who have decided to evolve and find alternatives. ORMs are bulky and do not provide value to many modern functional, data-first development paradigms.
- dagmx 3y agoWhy speak in absolutes? Swift data for example is a data first ORM https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftData https://developer.apple.com/documentation/SwiftData Nobody is saying only use an ORM, but the anti-ORM crowd seem to think that there’s only one true way to do things. I don’t know why so many programmers think purely in binary “good or bad”. Different projects may have different requirements.
- waffletower 3y agoWhy hear in absolutes? I said essentially what you did: "Different projects may have different requirements" You find ORMs useful, I do not, they aren't mutually exclusive. Also, An ORM is inappropriate for certain forms of inter-team collaboration. Data scientists often prepare SQL that we need to integrate into our services. Asking all at a company to learn a language specific ORM isn't practical. SQL is, for better and worse, an important common tool.
