My personal experience with MSSQL drivers (ORMs and lower level) for many younger, non-Microsoft endorsed, languages is that whilst they will work you will get caught with sharp edges. Until several years down the line and enough people who have the will/time and consolidate their efforts. That said, even MS official endorsed libraries can suddenly disappear (I'm looking at you msnodesql).

Having been down this path, without the time to dedicate fixing/working on a driver, I wouldn't even consider a non-"blessed" language in combination with MSSQL anymore. It was too much pain.
