wondering if I dislike ORMs as a category, or whether there are actually any DB abstractions I'd like to use

One thing to note, we have a focus on type safety as well. e.g. if your program compiles, you won't get runtime DB errors (stronger guarantees for select statements than insert/update/delete, triggers are turing complete after all).
This will make your code way more resilient, but also harder to make generic (e.g. a function that takes any table with a column called "name" is really difficult to express. Reach for a macro in that case).

We also focus less on DB agnostic code. It's possible, but more targeted towards library authors (dev/prod parity is good). We want you to use the features of your database to their full potential

Is there a way to write a diesel query interactively, or does it more or less come down to iterating on a `fn main(){ ... }` until you get something that works, then move what you've learned into your app?
