In the sense that "object-relational mapping" is happening, then sure. The problem with the "ORM" term is that it comes loaded with a bunch of preconceptions that don't apply to EdgeDB. EdgeQL is a full query language with a standard library, grammar, and feature parity with SQL (almost). We've got a binary protocol. You use EdgeDB without ever needing to think about the layer beneath it—totally non-leaky. It's also not a library, which most people assume when you say "ORM".

Having worked on databases, I am not the one to discount the effort that has gone into building EdgeDB. I was but jokingly referring to this: https://www.edgedb.com/_images/_blog/40fc2a2a81483bb0979c96d...

Btw, if you folks have time, then EdgeDB should consider penning posts like the ones timescale has been doing for 3 years or so, in its march to industry leadership.
