It seems to me the claim under discussion in this thread was "O-R mappers bloat your code". Now that you've admitted that they don't, we can put it to rest.
I didn't say that they don't. I just don't have any comparative evidence to offer youses right now.
I am curious though about what percent of self-declared OO proponents prefer O-R mappers. Many have lots of complaints.
"Bryce can't provide an example", not "the status is unknown." You say it's bloated, prove it. Otherwise it isn't.
False dichotomy. The answer to "is A > B" is Null at this point.
Otherwise shaddap.
Okay. After addressing some ongoing subissues, I will shut up about O-R mappers until new evidence arises.
