The Best ORM, Ever? | Joist
I've been working on the Joist docs lately, specifically a Why Joist? page, which ended up focusing more on "why Domain Models?" than a feature-by-feature description of Joist.
Which is fine, but a good friend (and early Joist user) proofread it, and afterward challenged me that I was being too humble, and I should be more assertive about Joist being "THE BEST ORM FOR TYPESCRIPT AND POSTGRES" (his words), as he listed off his own personal highlights:
But in thinking about his challenge, of pitching Joist specifically as "the best ORM for TypeScript & Postgres", I actually think I can be even more bullish and assert Joist is, currently, the best ORM, in any language, ever, TypeScript or otherwise.
I have three reasons; admittedly the first two are not technically unique to Joist, but both foundational to its design and implementation, and the third that is one of Joist's "special sauces":
I've used many ORMs over the years, going back to Java's Hibernate, Ruby's ActiveRecord, and a few bespoke ones in between.
