Hi, Charles,

I use an approach close to the Glorp one. The only difference is that I use
my own ORM I started developing before glorp existence, on the old
Smalltalk/V ,and moved it to VisualSmalltalk, VW and also c# ... being
homegrown, it follows perfectly my needs.
 What's wrong with Mongo?
Happy Easter
ciao

giorgio

BTW: porting to c#, a long time ago, made it really clear the number of
constraints that a statically typed language imposes on your code, and the
beauty of Smalltalk. But customers wanted c#....
