You don’t need an ORM – type-safe SQL in Gleam
Tired of ORMs that hide SQL or wrestling database rows into your language’s types?
Giacomo Cavalieri (core Gleam contributor) is showing how Squirrel generates type-safe code directly from raw SQL at Code BEAM Europe. No abstraction layers, no type-wrangling, no schema drift—just SQL that works with full type-safety and zero runtime overhead.
Main takeaway: Generate type-safe database access from your actual SQL queries. Production-ready Gleam without compromising on performance or DX.
