Re: Realm 1.0
#3Congrats to the team for expanding their platform support. I'm still interested to see what sync looks like.
If you are interested in mobile databases, you'd do well to evaluate Cocuhbase Mobile, which is 100% open source, available for most mobile platforms, and includes bulletproof synchronization with its open source secure cloud server.

#4VP Product at Realm here. Thanks to everyone on HN for the support over the years! We came out of YC in Summer 11 and it’s been a fantastic ride growing over the past few years. Would love to hear y’alls thoughts on what we should add next. Is there any reason why you’d still use SQLite?

I've been trying Realm for Xamarin recently and I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed with it, compared to my previous experiences with EF.
My complaints are as follows:
- No enum support
- No inheritance support
- Many LINQ operations aren't implemented, no select, no aggregate, etc. I have to do a ToList or ToArray to use these operations.
And that was just what came up in the first day of usage...
Why would I use Realm if EF7 gets SQLite Code First+Xamarin support and can do all of these things? Sure, it's faster, but faster doesn't matter if I'm not speed critical on my DB (most mobile apps aren't) and I can write cleaner code. It might be better than manually writing SQL queries, but it's a lot worse than existing ORM solutions.

#8Yes. I've been using Realm for my work app. In my opinion it's easier than Core Data, and certainly much easier than bare SQLite.
I've expected it to cross 1.0 after 0.99 but it keeps going on to more than 0.101. So, congrats on finishing the milestone.
One request though: what about grouping functionality?

#9If you're into React Native, check out Realm. Great experience for me so far.

The Xamarin product is the youngest in the family (and, not officially 1.0 like the others) so we obviously have a lot to do still. :-)
Your complaints are noted and are more or less all in the pipeline. Our goal is definitely that you should be able to write cleaner as well as faster code than you would with EF. Thank you for your feedback!
