Sure, but what would the result look like? I think it's wise to concentrate on a single API. Just look at CDBICompat for an example of how hard it is to maintain two APIs, even when one is preexisting. It's also a headache for users: which is the "real" or "native" API? > Never mind, maybe we can collaborate on a perl6 ORM when there's a production > implementation of the language for us to code to :) Yes, I've always considered this all prototype work for Perl 6...although then we have to allow for the first two throw-away ORMs for Perl 6 as we all learn how the heck to use the language in the best way. It never ends... ;) -John _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
