I've used similar tools (which I'm not going to recommend, as they have not aged well), and found it great to be able to rely on the compiler for checks. With ORMs or SQL I realized I would be better off working in Python, as without the compile time checks I got none of the benefits of Go and all the down sides. I haven't used sqlc, but do like that you just feed it queries. Other tools rely on using a templating language to generate the Go code from database schema introspection, and it is just awful to work with. Generics should do away with needing the templates, so maybe the database schema introspection approach will improve.
