Remember when ORM seemed like a great idea?

That’s the underlying DB but I don’t think we’ve published anything about the model layer in Hack, unfortunately.

Are you talking about Ent or something else? There’s a talk about that from a long time ago somewhere...

Yeah, though it’s also changed a lot in the last 5 years.

@floydophone remember when we had to write code like this?

This was a great talk that I’d never seen before. Interesting to know the history.

@skevy You can see the genesis of GraphQL in this slide. The first version of GraphQL was essentially layering serialization, a type system, and a language over this API. The core runtime was pretty thin, because in effect it was already written.pic.twitter.com/hZidlzg1Ts

Definitely! I noticed this right away when I watched the talk. How much different is the API today? I presume it uses generics because Hack, but other than that is Ent still reasonably similar to its original version?
