PostgreSQL Query Generation Without ORM Overhead: The Lightweight Alternative for Go

norm solves a fundamental tension in Go database development: developers want SQL visibility and control, but without the tedious boilerplate of manual query construction. By generating SQL directly from Go structs at runtime, it provides a pragmatic middle ground between verbose raw SQL and opaque ORM abstractions. This approach is particularly valuable for backend services where SQL explicitness is non-negotiable but development velocity matters.
