Imo software engineers look to the ORM to abstract the declarative set-theory, blah blah of SQL back into the object model they’re familiar with. IMO that’s a dereliction of duty as a developer but it happens and ORMs have gotten pretty good of late. In the Java space the JOOQ team is doing really good work. In my space of Python SQLalchemy has been the dominate ORM of choice and I hated it but without putting out a better product I have just decided to work around it or adapt. But if I can I use raw SQL where possible.
