Hi, glad to see you're resuming maintenance on this project! Do you have a timeline for the TODOs by any chance?

[Yakumo-Yukari]

When developing websites with Nim, we have limited choices for ORMs. Currently using Norm, but we were hoping to have more options.

From the todo nothing sticks out as particularly important. I think it's ready for a version 1.0. Maybe transactions but these should be creatable by Ormin's extension mechanisms. @elcritch what do you think?

[elcritch]

Personally I'd like to be able to use transactions. I had GPT5 working on transactions but I haven't checked out it's work. The path it went down seemed subpar. I'm only adding stuff as I need it. I'm also partial to financial bribery though. ;)

Not sure which extension methods you mean @Araq ? Though I suspect the sql handler would need tweeting for most of the todos because the code for finding the return types/expressions is somewhat limited.

!! "begin transaction" is what I had in mind, no idea if it works.

[elcritch]

Ah ok, it might work but might break return type analysis.

GPT5 seemed to think adding a separate 'transaction' macro was the way to go. That could make sense too, eg just collect queries then combine them and wrap them in a transaction.

One feature I could see wanting myself would be upsert / update with set support.

Not another macro, just make Ormin's DSL support transaction:.
