Show HN: Joist, the Best ORM, Ever?
joist-orm.ioHi HN; over the last 4 years, we've been building Joist, an ORM for TypeScript & Postgresql, that solves many of the footguns of traditional entity-based ORMs.
One of our early adopters challenged us to be less humble in our marketing, and this silly-but-serious blog post is the result. :-)
Disclaimer this post assumes a lot of familiarity with ORMs, so that it can focus on how Joist (and the JavaScript + TypeScript stack) has solved these historical issues, but the rest of the Joist docs try to be more tutorial/beginner oriented. From the article - Joist provides: - Bullet-proof N+1 prevention, - Tracking loaded relation/subgraph state in the type system, and - Backend reactivity, for declarative cross-entity validation rules and reactive fields. Wow!
