Hi Brenton, It's nice to see someone writing a relational mapper.
I never got farther than pondering on API design but I share my design thoughts in case it can be useful to you: * relations (tables/views/joins) would be a reference type (when dereferenced they would return a seq or set of maps), * keys would be namespaced (:album/id and :track/id etc.), foreign keys use the ns of the foreign table * join would be implicitly on matching key names (thus the importance of namespacing) * transactions would be delimted by a (dbsync ...) forms * the API would try to be as close as possible of clojure.set hth, Christophe On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 6:14 PM, Brenton <bashw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello group. > > I have been working on a relational mapping library for Clojure named > Carte. > > http://github.com/brentonashworth/carte > > The current version is what I would consider to be a working prototype > and I would love to get feedback from the community before I do much > more work on this.
