> at the same time, they provide little (or nothing) utilities to map the data coming from a complex query, back to objects
Example of a query builder with built-in mapping capabilities (it’s mine):

I feel some exasperation when I see query builders that throw a query string back to the user and ask them to map the results themselves. That’s easily the most tedious and mistake-prone part of using SQL queries. In the case of my library, projection and mapping are handled by the same callback function so in order to SELECT a field you basically map it and it’s automatically added to the SELECT clause.

I've been using Ent for some time on a project and its been quite nice to just be able to write the schema in Go, testing has been a breeze with the enttest package, hooks work well, and everything feels intuitive to me unlike most other ORMs or ORM-adjacent tools.
My preferred package before Ent was Squirrel [1] but I definitely plan to use Ent for future projects.

vlcn-orm
Develop with your data model anywhere. Query and load data reactively. Replicate between peers without a central server.

> Eg, transform a schema type that describes my database tables into an easy-to-use query builder and data abstraction API with rich method chaining.
TypeScript can do this. It was done already halfway-well 6 years ago with way fewer features in TypeScript (https://github.com/brianc/node-sql/blob/master/lib/types.d.t...) - today we can do much better.

FWIW I've given up the SQL query builder route and instead went with GraphQL query builder / Hasura route (https://typed-graphql-builder.spion.dev/).

I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL.
Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries (e.g. http server and session management).
If you are only looking for ORM + GraphQL then I highly recommend trying Entgql, an Ent extension for GraphQL with Gqlgen library [1]. Once you define an ORM schema, it will generate GraphQL Query for Relay server. Still you need to implement GraphQL Mutations by your own but at least it will create Input types for you (both for Create/Update).
