kiss-orm VS sqlpp11

I found this: https://github.com/Seb-C/kiss-orm

I totally agree with the views of the author. That is basically why I started to build an ORM that does not include a query builder. Best of both worlds.

Now the design was far from easy, and keeping things reasonably simple without abstracting the SQL part was my biggest challenge. And this would not have been possible without the template-string tagging feature of modern JS, so it wouldn't be doable for many other languages.

sqlpp11 actually helps in this area (which imo is the most error prone area of using a database) and offers compile time query checking

I haven't used this, though I did see some presentations about it which got my interest: https://github.com/rbock/sqlpp11

If you love C++ Template magic look at https://github.com/rbock/sqlpp11

This allows "normal" C++ code, which by the compiler is converted into the query string, allowing code like

    for (const auto& row : db(select(all_of(foo)).from(foo).where(foo.hasFun or foo.name == "joker")))
