Why SQLite Does Not Use Git

To be fair, most ORMs poorly implement the "leaky" principle. When implemented well, like with SQLAlchemy, the end result is a much nicer ORM.

In fact, one of the things in common among the ORMs that have left a bad taste in my mouth is that they all tried to abstract away SQL without leaking enough of it.

I have a different thesis:

Picking the ideal interface to abstract is critically important (and very hard).

In the case of ORMs, available solutions abstract the schema (tables, rows, fields), the objects, or use templates. My solution abstracted JDBC/ODBC. The only leak in my abstraction was missing metadata, which I was able to plug (with much effort!).

My notions for interfaces, modularity, abstractions are mostly informed by the book "Design Rules: The Power of Modularity". http://a.co/hXOGJq1
