Should return value with return type

[go-jet]

Hi @gxanshu, I agree that it would be nice, but I don't think it's technically feasible in Go or probably in any other type safe language. It's probably doable for a single table select, but for multiple joined table its much harder. Especially because Go doesn't have such a powerful generics support. Are you saying that Kysely can produce automatically deeply nested destination struct using generics? If that's the case I would love the see an example.

Event if it is technically possible, I don't think it would be desirable. There can be different valid destinations for the same query. Also, for some of the tables(like N:M), you don't want them to appear in the destination. What to do with calculated projections(like COUNT(*))? Where those values will go in the automatic destination? There are probably many more edge cases, where automatic destination would not work.
