Hi Bryce, great job on your perseverence, sounds like you're getting close! My
interest is seething, as I'm sure many in our community, don't quit now, ok? :)
I have been thinking in terms of Magma's materialization process, whether
Exupery could deal with it. When an object graph is materialized from a
ByteArray, the object structure is built in two steps. The first step
establishes identity <-> oids by instantiating all of the objects with pointers
to Integer oids, potentially Large or Small. For example,
aPerson (110)
name = 115
address = 130
aName (115)
first = 116
last = 117
'Chris' (116)
'Muller' (117)
anAddress (130)
street = 141
'101 W. Meyer' (141)
The second step then replaces those integers with the actual objects (or a
proxy).
aPerson
name = aName
address = anAddress
anAddress
street = '101 W. Meyer'
If a particular variable can have an Integer, Proxy or the RealObject at
various times, will that disrupt Exupery's ability to optimize the domain code,
or am I confusing with Strongtalk?
