Your last question is equivalent to : why there so many math theories? Can’t we just reuse the old ones?

New language appear as a natural product from research in type theory for ex


Even something as ubiquitous as JSON is not handled in the same way in different databases, same goes for Dates, and UUID. I am not even mentioning migrations scripts. As soon as you start writing raw SQL, I pretty sure you will hit a compatibility issue.

I was specifically talking about python, can’t argue with golang. OK you have a valid point for performance, gotta keep an eye on that. However, I am satisfied for our CRUD api


and how you run your tests? Do you spawn a DB backend for test purposes?


You don’t even mention the 2 main advantages:

  • ORM lets you to use plain objects over untyped strings. I take typed anything over untyped anything, everyday
  • ORM lets you to use multiple database backends. For ex, you don’t need to spawn a local postgres server, then clean/migrate it after each test suit, you can just use in-memory sqlite for that. OK this has some gotchas, but that’s a massive improvement in productivity
