Show HN: Joist, the Best ORM, Ever?

5 pointsby stephenabout 1 year ago
Hi HN; over the last 4 years, we&#x27;ve been building Joist, an ORM for TypeScript &amp; Postgresql, that solves many of the footguns of traditional entity-based ORMs.<p>One of our early adopters challenged us to be less humble in our marketing, and this silly-but-serious blog post is the result. :-)<p>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&#x2F;beginner oriented.

From the article - Joist provides:<p>- Bullet-proof N+1 prevention,<p>- Tracking loaded relation&#x2F;subgraph state in the type system, and<p>- Backend reactivity, for declarative cross-entity validation rules and reactive fields.<p>Wow!
