No really, the library is called Slick AND it is very cool to use. Slick and Scala are great for working with Postgres with either straight SQL, or using the FRM (that’s a Functional Relation Mapper like in functional programming). After Hannah gave a great talk talk about Python, Postgres, and ORMs, I got to thinking that I could do a language and ORM talk. Thanks Hannah, that was great.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/grantholly/pdx_pug_scala_and_pg">https://github.com/grantholly/pdx_pug_scala_and_pg</a></p> <p>Hi, it’s me still Grant. I work at New Relic as an engineer on the database engineering team. I’ve been using Postgres in production since 9.2 and have been using and enjoying Scala for about two years having worked on a couple of production high throughput applications.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://pdx.postgresql.us">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
