Several people have mentioned a desire to see Perl6 and Parrot facilitate object persistence. Should such issues be tackled in Parrot? Will there ever be a Parrot Object Database that we can serialize our Perl, Python and Ruby objects into, to be used at some later date in code written in Jako?
If an appropriate parrot topic, I'd be especially interested to hear the thoughts of people like Sam Vilain, Dave Rolsky, Piers Cawley, and others who've already spent a great deal of tuits tackling these issues. What does parrot need to facilitate object persistence and cross-language OO? Obviously the OMG's UML and family of specifications deal with these issues. What other practical approaches exist? -- Garrett Goebel IS Development Specialist ScriptPro Direct: 913.403.5261 5828 Reeds Road Main: 913.384.1008 Mission, KS 66202 Fax: 913.384.2180 www.scriptpro.com garrett at scriptpro dot com
