What's Good
MIT. Write SQL, get Go/Kotlin/Python/TypeScript stubs with compile-time types. No runtime ORM magic. Great for Postgres/MySQL/SQLite shops that like queries readable.
The Catch
Codegen from SQL - not Prisma/Drizzle ORM, not a database. Schema migrations are still yours (golang-migrate, Atlas, etc.). Language support depth varies.
Verdict
MIT SQL codegen. Free forever; not an ORM.
