Hi WOrriors,

I still question why we are fighting so hard for Object-relational 
mapping. If we are contemplating doing work, shouldn't we consider going 
straight for object databases? Take out the transcription layer. Let's get 
more productive. Only use OR-mapping for old systems that we must 
interface with but new work should consider the advantages of being pure 
objects, all the time.

Everyone has success stories. You can write a great app in PHP if you 
really want to (though none of us would choose to). What really counts is 
how people achieve their success and if we'd enjoy doing it in a similar 
fashion. For us that means we want creative options and better 
productivity. That's why we've historically chosen WO.

Here's one success story that really peaks my interest - it drives home my 
love/hate relationship with any ORM even one as nice as EOF:

It talks about GLASS as if we all know what that is. It's Gemstone's 
turnkey solution to Internet app development... Like WO used to have. You 
can get a brief definition here:

Gemstone has been used a long time with lots of data. Here's one success 
story with a shipping company and over 1.5 billion data objects:

Here's a more general listing of success stories:
