Why Golang instead of Rust to develop the Krater desktop app

The ent orm for golang actually does some useful work for you. https://github.com/ent/ent

  A Relational Algebra (by brynary)

The property of composable queries is not unique to (or dare I say even characteristic of) ORMs, which are primarily concerned with mapping between relations (in the relational algebra sense) or tables, and in-memory objects.

It's the modelling of SQL as an AST that gives you that composability, and this does not require an ORM; see for instance arel (even though this was later absorbed into Rails' ActiveRecord as an implementation detail). [0]

• sqlc

  Generate type-safe code from SQL

  

I can't find an equivalent for Go. https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc and https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc look nice, but they are doing codegen, definitely not as sleek as Rust sqlx.

I guess it's a good example of how powerful Rust is. The "magic" that sqlx does at compile time gets really difficult if not impossible to do without macros.

Of course you could create a separate parser/builder, and codegen works as well, but definitely not as convenient and flexible.

I'd like to remind people that errors you don't understand are bugs and I'd encourage you all to file a ticket when encountering any: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new?assignees=&labe...

Tauri is definitely a hot SEO keyword!

I had not heard of https://wails.io before for Golang GUIs, only https://fyne.io which renders its own controls.
