That's a good point. I haven't had any experience with other ORM

I definitely do want to eventually capture some of ActiveRecord's
features, but probably not all of them. I feel like the solution should
be implemented in a way that fits well with a statically typed language,
so I'll definitely have to drop some of the features. It won't be quite
as nice to use, but it will be simpler in dome ways, which is one of my
primary goals as a developer. Tools like ActiveRecord are more fun to
use, but thinking of all the hash table lookups makes me cringe. :)
If and when the library matures, though, I might think about adding some
more ActiveRecord-like features if enough people miss them.
You can have a look at DataMapper. That's also for Ruby but it's not
specific for SQL, if I recall correctly. Have a look at some ORM library
written in Scala, I would guess they can be quite innovative and it's
statically typed.
