Venting again. The thing that pisses me off the most is how odoo refuses to adopt common practice and instead implements their own stuff:
Need an ORM? Well don’t expect odoo to use a battle tested and widely used library. Odoo implements its own, but good luck figuring out how to optimize a query.
Want a framework like React? Nope, we’ve got Owl — but only sometimes.
Want templates? Odoo uses its own XML dialect. That’s not really documented. Oh and XML is also the configuration language. Oh and about 40% of your codebase will be xml files with magic strings that at runtime magically call a python function. Because fuck you.
Hahaha... This is pretty much spot on about the whole back end
Daaaamn. I'm out. Thank you for this
Welp, defo good insights you're sharing - thanks 👍
I hate that kind of not-invented-here syndrome. The project I am helping develop is partly open source and has its own server-side framework, its own ORM and its own typescript based framework. Community-wise we are dead in the water, because nobody wants to adopt to the own frameworks.
Incidentially, I used OpenERP5, which is an early predecessor of Odoo. I hated the interface with every fiber of my being. Due to some custom development, we were not able to upgrade to more modern versions.
