The post mentions an ORM, but the docs don’t provide any examples of how it works. How does the Cot ORM compare to Diesel?
There are certainly places where I find Diesel falls short of, say, ActiveRecord (like traversing relationships via “includes”/“eager_load”/etc.). I’m not convinced that these shortcomings warrant a separate ORM as opposed to making contributions to Diesel, but I’m open to being wrong. Are there any particular shortcomings that motivated starting from scratch?
One thing I really like about Rust dev is the way ORM and API server concerns are separated. Will Cot’s server support using Diesel? Can it be used without the ORM package being involved at all?
