First off, my appreciation to Massimo and the web2py team for working on such a wonderful product.
I had used RedBeanPHP ORM (http://redbeanphp.com/) in a recent project on PHP, and I really liked it. It stays true to it's claim - "Combine The Simplicity of NoSQL With The Power of SQL." - making development a breeze after some initial learning curve. I thought the web2py ORM was already one of the best, but I was really blown away by RedBean, how efficient and productive it is - * the way it relieves you from specifying the schema during development * the way it helps you associate different objects without having to worry about foreign keys and complicated JOIN * the way it lets you mix in the power of SQL to fine-tune your query without proprietary/arcane AND/OR constructs There has been a POC implementation in Python: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pybean which supports SQLite, but looking at it's description, is not meant for primetime yet. So my question is, is there a plan to implement these RedBean-like features in web2py? It can only make development in web2py more productive and efficient.
