Choose Rust For A Better Database Ecosystem

[dbanty]

I found myself recently explaining to multiple people why I don't like SQLAlchemy (the most popular Python ORM) even though I still use it in every major project. The idea would be to write a post about a specific problems I have seen in the real world with using SQLAlchemy, and how they may be applicable to ORMs more generally.

If this is a post you'd like to read, drop a 👍 or similar.

If you have questions, comments, or concerns about the idea, I'd love to hear them!

Since the initial concept, I've changed this a little bit. Rather than just complaining about the issues I've had with SQLAlchemy, the idea will be to contrast it with SQLx, my current favorite way to do database stuff in Rust. I can then use that to illustrate why I think traditional ORMs can be harmful and how we might work toward better solutions in every language.
