norm VS httpbeast

Congratulations to everyone involved and the entire Nim community!

Nim has been my language of choice for the past decade and I'm really happy with the new features in Nim 2.0. Some of them are real gamechangers for my projects. For example, default values for objects theoretically allow me to make Norm[1] work with object types along with object instances. And the new overloadable enums is something Karkas [2] wouldn't be possible at all (it's still WIP though).

In the ORM field, Norm[1] is an actively maintained package that supports SQLite and Postgres. It's framework agnostic, I've used it with Jester and Prologue (it had nothing to do with Prolog btw).

Among frameworks, Prologue is the most actively developed and feature rich.

Thank you to the author for writing this.

Entitlement in open source is a massive problem, I have experienced it first-hand many times. The problem is that it discourages contributions not only from the existing maintainers but also from people who may volunteer to fix issues in the future. Would you be willing to contribute if most of the issues are just asking for things (often rudely) and not even saying thanks when an issue is resolved?

Unfortunately I have seen far worse examples than the one linked in the article[1]. I would encourage people to not only think twice before acting this way but to also call out people that are acting entitled in open source to discourage such actions.
