@gzigurella Hi! So you propose there's a special reserved field name "table" or "tableName" for each Model, similar to how every Model has "id"? What is the advantage of this...

@gzigurella I think I'm misunderstanding something. Sorry, I'll have to ask more questions :-) AFAIK if you're generating types, it must be done at compile time anyway. You can't generate...

Norm doesn't have a concurrency story of its own. Connecting to a DB is blocking because it's io. You can alleviate this by writing async code which let's you do...

Async doesn't mean not blocking though :-) Async just means you can tell the program to switch to a different task while the current one is blocked because it's waiting...

Sorry, you are right, I'm wrong. Norm relies on ndb package for the actual DB interaction. So Norm's DbConn type is actually ndb's. Since ndb is a blocking package, so...
