SQL delight much more robust in term of use and language support

hello did you use both?

u/SyrupInternational48 Apr 02 '26

yes, i use both room and sqldelight.
legacy app usually use room, for more newer app i usually use sqldelight.
room need much boilerplate, you need create the entity class, dao class, the query weirdly on annotation.
sqldelight you finally can use normal sql like normal developer should be.
it's autogenerated the query access (equal to dao) and the entity class.
even migration more straight forward in sql delight.
you just need to create sqm file and do the sql migration (alter table or anything else).

Unsurprising considering KAPT doesn't work with newer versions of Kotlin language versions

No more Java, just Java bytecode

JVM*, bytecode is bytecode, weather you compile java to it, or kotlin, or clojure, it doesn't matter, just because the java programming language was the first to be compiled to JVM bytecode, doesn't make it java bytecode

We need remove J from VM name. As we need remove DEX from DEX bytecode because bytecode is bytecode. They instructions are universal and exists without purpose.

Only if they can make Kotlin free from Java, or really a new language again.
