Comment on: What ORMs have taught me: just learn SQL (2014)
Something I'd like to see is for someone to finally come to the realisation that the right thing to do is to make the front-end web templating language truly polyglot and support SQL natively, without an ORM wrapper.For example, the ASP.NET Razor syntax allows HTML and C# code to be interspersed surprisingly freely: <ul>
@foreach (var user in Model.Users)
{
<li>@user.Name</li>
}
</ul>
Just picture the same kind of thing, but with SQL expressions freely interspersed with the programming language.Just like how Cargo, NuGet, NPM, etc... can import packages and/or how you

Developers building event‑driven, serverless stacks are frustrated by webhook‑only integrations that force them to maintain extra infrastructure. EventSync converts those webhooks into a simple, pull‑based /events endpoint, letting teams retrieve change events on demand with minimal setup and zero webhook maintenance.
Developers using SQLite for data‑intensive apps hit crippling file‑system race conditions once scaling beyond a single writer. LockGuard eliminates those stalls by adding a lightweight, in‑memory lock manager and write‑queue that keeps SQLite safe and fast under load.
Developers today trade rapid coding for sluggish execution, especially when using GC-heavy languages that suffer with heavy allocation. HasteRun delivers a SaaS compiler that instantly transforms high‑level code into highly optimized machine binaries, eliminating GC overhead and giving teams the speed of scripting with near‑C performance.
Heavy-duty applications and virtualization layers are introducing crippling latency and CPU bottlenecks on Apple Silicon hardware. LatencyZero optimizes system-level resource scheduling to eliminate software slowdowns and restore native-speed execution.
