(#20796135)
First off: love the name!
I love me a good ORM, though I know many people are not fans. However, having to annotate every member with what almost seems like a duplicate statement seems like a painful way to define an ORM. Before seeing this project I had been under the erroneous assumption that Typescript would somehow provide class introspection, e.g., allow one to 'collect' all defined member variables of a class, but it seems [0] that it does not. I think I've been spoiled by Python.
