Great talk

Hi, Toucan library author here.
+1 on avoiding side effects from business logic. This applies not just to Toucan, but to database code in general. Toucan is there to give you a way to define behaviors when interacting with your application database, for example transforming certain columns when you fetch rows from a certain table from the database. It's that plus utility functions for interacting with your database. Not really an ORM.
Either way, Toucan 2 is out now: https://github.com/camsaul/toucan2 I'm still working on fully documenting it but it's already being used in the wild and Toucan 1 will probably be archived soon

Excited to see this. I love Metabase and use it every day.

Don't rain on GitHub's parade, this was their big feature of Q1 2017

This library started out as DB and model layer utility functions for Metabase (https://github.com/metabase/metabase), and after a couple years of improving them we think they might be useful to others too, so we've spun them out into a separate library :)

Based on the model and DB utility functions developed while working on Metabase (https://github.com/metabase/metabase/).
