After years of missing @laravelphp's Eloquent ORM everywhere I go, I've finally decided to do something about it. Ensemble (a laravel-inspired ORM for Rust), coming soon 👀 https://t.co/WDaPlSljcU
@laravelphp After a bunch of tinkering, I finally got things to compile! I honestly thought both figuring out the basics of derive macros and getting a global db connection pool would be the hardest parts of this, so I'm super happy with progress so far 😁 Next up, basic CRUD 👀 https://t.co/95ItKkD0MY
@laravelphp Ensemble lets you just write Rust, iRust ORMs is that they always make you write your migrations in SQL. Ensemble lets you just write Rust, and provides a fluent interface for things like constraints, indexes, etc. 💫 https://t.co/r14G6jEnAN
Finally managed to get relationships working! Full support for BelongsTo/HasMany/BelongsToMany relationships, as simple as adding a key to a struct ✨ This require manually deriving serde, which was PAINFUL, but also means you no longer need to pull it in as a dependency 😁 https://t.co/cxFCh6sbUf
Switched to Ensemble on one of my Rust projects, and shoved off more than a thousand lines in the process! Getting close to a v1.0 👀 https://t.co/YuT9giAwon
