Exposed

It's hard to be certain but we have seen this story in Scala. Among the advantages advertised early was interoperability with Java and access to its huge ecosystem. In practice the Scala ecosystem is completely different (well, Akka is a special case popular in Java projects too). As a trivial example people would rather use ScalaPB instead of officially supported Java library. When I worked on a Kotlin-based system people were adamant to use github.com/JetBrains/Exposed. Which had a couple pages of documentation and was missing features. And then again there's politics. Big/successful companies always end up re-inventing PL wheels. The whole GOOG/ORCL mess gave GOOG incentive to fragment the Java ecosystem too.

A bit late but I use this which is a wrapper over JDBC: https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed

JetBrains is kinda crushing it. I've spent the last two days looking into Kotlin. I didn't realize not only that Kotlin can compile to JS but also that you can interact with say React from it. So you can build a full stack app in it, without ever touching JS. (I think that the JS compilation is still technically in beta but w/e). https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-fullstack-sample Combined with the fact that you can use Quasar for Erlang style processes, I think that I found my next web language. I guess you could achieve this with Scala too but I could never get over the compilation times. Also the Kotlin integration seems somewhat more straightforward. I also like that the company that makes my IDE also makes the ORM (https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed) and web framework (https://github.com/Kotlin/ktor). Idk how good these are but I ima
