Rails is not written in Ruby
Just wanted to say that the authors libraries, especially ROM [0], are incredible and have played a huge influence on me as a developer. I learned a lot using and diving through the code.

Catching up on things
Better gems. dry-rb, ROM, and Hanami are doing interesting stuff. I also hear web_pipe is popular?

10 Years of Open Source
This is exactly how I ended up contributing to DataMapper, then joining the core team, then releasing Virtus, then working on DataMapper 2.0, then turning it into rom-rb, then joining dry-rb and building 1.25 library / month on average for about 2 years or so to eventually join Hanami team...and, yeah, it's been kinda nuts now when I look back.

Python: Just Write SQL
Thea answer to your prayers already exists: http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/.
By far the best database toolkit (ORM, query builder, migration engine) I have seen for any programming language.

Is ORM still an anti-pattern?
Ruby sequel (http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/) is the only library where you can combine classic ORM Model bases usage, with a more raw query builder "just get me all the data into plain objects". You'll never need anything again in your career life.

Sketch of a Post-ORM
If you want a db tool which can be an ORM for your app, and drop down to a lower level dsl, while targeting specific features of the databases it supports, + having a "composable superset for building queries", there's [ruby sequel](http://sequel.jeremyevans.net/), which is the best tool of the kind you'll get for any proglang. Everything the author wants, minus the typrchecking perhaps, which is IMO shooting at the stars.

There's SQL in my Ruby
I love the Sequel library from Jeremy Evans (so much better than Rails' AREL). I've used it as my ORM-of-choice since 2008. When leveraging Sequel I almost always use the DSL, but there are times that I want to use bare SQL. When that happens, I almost always use HEREDOCs and my own version of String#squish.

ruby 3.2 unable to connect to database via odbc
sequel is a pretty good option! To use the above snowflake adapter for sequel, you'll have to learn to use sequel (which is pretty easy). https://sequel.jeremyevans.net/

Ask HN: Who's using Ruby web development without Ruby on Rails (RoR)?
I've been on the Roda [0] and Sequel [1] framework for over 10 years now across various projects. Even after all these years, starting a project in this stack feels like a breath of fresh air even compared to the newer language/frameworks that jabe come out since.
Jeremy Evans is the creator and maintainer of both of these Ruby gems and is super helpful in resolving ask kinda of issues.

What It Took to Build a Rails Integration for Rodauth
Even though Rodauth is built on top of Roda and Sequel, it can work as a Rack middleware in any Ruby web framework. In the beginning, there was a demo app showing how Rodauth can be used in Rails, which leveraged the (now discontinued) roda-rails gem. However, the integration felt fairly raw, and definitely lacked the ergonomics Rails developers are used to.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ROM and Sequel you can also consider the following projects:
ActiveRecord
DataMapper
Hanami::Model - Ruby persistence framework with entities and repositories
Redis-Objects - Map Redis types directly to Ruby objects
Ohm - Object-Hash Mapping for Redis
Mongoid - The Official Ruby Object Mapper for MongoDB
Async Ruby - An awesome asynchronous event-driven reactor for Ruby.
Neo4j.rb - An active model wrapper for the Neo4j Graph Database for Ruby.
