Hi Kashyap! Thank you for posting many good examples on the mailing list, and welcome to the PicoLisp world!

My thoughts on this subject is that ORM systems such as ActiveRecord and EntityFramework are there to map different technologies to one another, but the database in PicoLisp is "just" another form of symbols. ActiveRecord would map rows in a SQL database to Ruby objects and back, but there is not such a big difference between external and internal symbols in PicoLisp. Here, we have "symbols all the way down" instead of having to "massage" data between quite different forms. Personally, I find the Pil database one of the big advantages of the language. There is no longer any need to install, setup and administer a SQL database. I do not have context switch between objects on the one hand and tables and rows on the other. There is suddenly a consistent world to work in :) Best regards, Mattias -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
