I like how everyone here and the repo’s readme talks about performance as if the problem with Automapper was the fact that it was making your enterprise app that waits N seconds for a db query and relies on caching to be even remotely usable, slow.

The problem with automapper is that it throws the compiler out the window and invites all the bugs that would normally not be there.

Mapping code is still your code and should receive the same care as your fancy services.

I hate automapper, and I hate this too, just less because at least it has the potential to catch bugs at compile time… I think.

Some people really want to write libraries, I guess.
