No, that's still the SQL languages' fault because you cannot return multiple tables in a single query.

Half the reason why ORMs have trouble has to do with the fact that you need to fetch has many relations via a second select.

Beyond that, it's the GPPL languages' fault that it doesn't support object or class fragments which are needed to support queries that return a subset of an object.

If people bothered fixing these two issues, then ORMs would be great.
