Specifically in Golang, an issue I encountered writing SQL queries is when you expect the response will contain null fields. Specifically in Go, at least with the stdlib database/sql client, there's a lot of boilerplate code you need to add to make raw queries without an ORM to map to a sql.NullT object (where T is the Golang equivalent type for the column), then check for each row if the sql.NullT object is "valid" and then copy the column values for each row over to a new struct after doing each sequential null check. An ORM might have saved me about 50 lines of code for just this one query that I'm looking at, just in handling null types alone.
