And even then, I think I by far prefer raw SQL to Slick. If you stick to the standard Scala libraries, they are pretty well designed, and I second taking the Functional progamming in scala course. There is some discussion of the toolchain in Lecture 0 of that course.
- bkeroack 12y agoInteresting, thank you. Do you have any ORMs that you recommend above Slick? I think raw SQL is probably a deal-breaker for us.
- zenbowman 12y agoNope, Slick is the best one that I ran across for Scala. I just found writing the classes painful so I wrote slickint to deal with generation of classes, and it was reasonable after that.
