One of the most common change requests I get with my Web Development course is to stop using GORM, and instead use the database/sql package that is part of Go’s standard library. When I receive feedback like this I often respond asking, “Why?” Why do they feel the database/sql package would be better suited for their education? Why do they feel ORMs will be problematic long term? I don’t ask these questions to be snarky or because I don’t care; I ask because I truly want to understand a problem before I look for solutions, and oftentimes people will tell you their problem is X, when in reality X is only a symptom of a deeper problem.
