        Does anyone here use the Dapper ORM?

        I haven't used it, but I understand that there is an article in next month's MSDN Magazine about it (should be on the site on Monday). Julie Lerman (she of much EF writing) liked it.

          Yep. It's relatively easy to use, but also not too powerful. It does a good job of abstracting away the database, but not much more. At least it's not a memory hog and does not slow down things too much.

          The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
          This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

            EF 6 has more optimizations than before, and is more powerful IMHO then 4 or 5. Any reason why you can't use that?

                Very good. It's not trying to do everything, like EF or NHibernate; it just makes certain tasks with raw ADO.NET a lot easier.

                  Well, that is not really a good reason. You have to have a better reason for that, I would think. Our shop/company has been using EF 5 and 6 with great results. We recently went to Code First, and I like that too, despite my initial hesitation...to change.

                          C# is simply a copy of java, but without the cross-platform capabilities.

                                I looked in NuGet, and there's a crapload of dapper-related stuff in there. What's worth getting?

                                  I'm no Java guy but observing the news Kent posts about Java language development it looks like the table has turned and Java becomes a copy of C# ;P More on topic: If you're looking for a non-Microsoft "heavy" ORM then I would suggest to take a look at VITA[^]. I haven't used it myself yet but it sounds really good.

                                    I looked in NuGet, and there's a crapload of dapper-related stuff in there. What's worth getting?

                                    I've only used the core package[^] so far. Dapper.Contrib[^] looks interesting, and is maintained by the same team: Dapper.Contrib - more extensions for dapper[^]

                                      BTW, a few folks claim that Dapper's faster than EF6 - so I guess there's that.

                                        It most certainly is - but that's apples and oranges.

                                          I have heard of Dapper, and that is about all. I have the most experience with EF but I am not going on the record to say that it is the best. I'm sure there are applications best suited for Dapper. I found this to be interesting. The conclusion at the end is the most important. Dapper looks to be faster in a lot of respects. Interesting. Don't Panic Labs – Speed Comparison: Dapper vs Entity Framework[^] Looks like Stackoverflow uses Dapper.
