I completely agree: there are many places outside of DM::Resource it would be great to have a declarative api for properties (mainly load/dump logic). I could see such a thing being of use to the 'schema-free' / NoSQL "ORM" adapters (which are not really ORMs): ToyStore, Friendly, Mongoid, MongoMapper, etc. That said, I'm sure that more eyes (and hands) on Virtus the better. I believe it's not intended to be production-ready yet, but I'm sure it can be made ready with willing hackers to help. -- Emmanuel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
