ElixirStatus

Explores an alternative approach to database access that embraces raw SQL instead of abstracting it away with ORMs. Introduces Squirrel, a library for Gleam that uses code generation from SQL queries to provide type-safety and good developer experience without sacrificing performance. Demonstrates how developers can write plain SQL while maintaining the benefits of static typing in functional languages, avoiding common ORM pitfalls like N+1 query problems.

You Don't Need an ORM

You don’t need it the same way you don’t need a seat belt when you drive. It certainly helps.

“You don’t need an orm” then describes new orm in gleam. If you have mapping sql data to your code structs you have an orm. This one is just sql first

laughs in SQL Injection

I ditched ORMs years ago and never looked back.
