It is profoundly sad how Rails has institutionalized a "nobody cares" attitude toward performance.https://twitter.com/samsaffron/status/1002446941156884480 …

It's funny that you bring this up, because we want a Merb style outcome here and that's what we are working toward. I honestly don't feel AR can be fixed because of the deep seated cultural issues of "developer happiness > everything else"
-
in other words, the only way to get the outcome you want is to build the (mostly compatible) alternative and push it forward.
-
I'd welcome a Rails-like Rails competitor. In the absence of a concrete alternative, the rhetoric is counterproductive (because it alienates developer ergonomics folks from folks who care about performance, turning a win-win situation into zero-sum)
-
It'd be an ActiveRecord alternative, not a full Rails alternative. Working title.. TurboRecord ;)
-
My work on Rails 3 was overtly designed to allow experimentation and alternatives in the ORM part of Rails and the failure of DataMapper is one of my biggest disappointments from that era. Go to town.
-
Honestly, I don't think an alternative will work, I think an extraction that would act as a full fledged building block is a better and more likely to work out. Active Record build on Active SQL or something like that.

Separating the query builder out from the rest (introducing the public APIs required) has definitely been a goal of mine for a while. As usual, it's just a question of time.
