OK. If I understand, "def c" would be "def
articles_about_paris_hilton"? This is still not as nice as
ActiveRecord, I think. You are having to create custom helper methods
directly on the Model. For example, bob.articles_about_paris_hilton
vs the (more OO and messagey) bob.articles.about_paris_hilton which
leverages the (nicely decoupled and Demeterish)
Article.about_paris_hilton?
However, Brian's points about the maturity and stability of Hibernate
vs. ActiveRecord are well taken. I think it all depends on your
project. For Agile startup social networking projects, the
flexibility, readability, and speed of ActiveRecord trumps. For a
project where you really care about database integrity or ACID, you
would probably want to think about using some DSL on top of hibernate,
like GORM. I still think the GORM syntax looks like poop compared to
Ruby and ActiveRecord, though :)
