Red Dead Redemption 2. Finally!

Coming off the heels of NG++ on Lies of P, it’s rather hard to get into. Hoping it becomes more engaging over time.

WhatsApp is universally available, not locked down by the dominating platform’s own proprietor.

Completely agree. Most ORMs focus on hiding SQL away (for good reasons, such as portability and type safety), but I wish there were more approaching it in the reverse. That is, have the user write schemas, queries and migrations in SQL, and generate models with typesafe APIs in return. I’m only aware of SQLDelight in this space, but it’s such a great idea to have the source of truth be actual SQL, and a build time generator and validator working alongside you.

We’ll be able to tell with real comparative data now that both options are available, but I’d be shocked if SQLite itself is the bottleneck, especially in a low concurrency scenario (which is the case for most installations of star apps).
