A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi, I'm trying to develop a ktor application, which has a lot of user-generated "structures", similar to Notion databases. I would want to give the user the capability to do standard stuff like sort, filter etc. with these structures. In this sense, does it make sense for me to use ORMs for that? do I still get the advantages of syntactic sugar and safety?

I'd say no. ORMs make the easy queries slightly more easy, but are totally unhelpful for the harder queries. It seems that the use case you describe involves the harder queries. Jooq may help to make your queries slightly more type safe.
