Notes on ORM and templates
As usual, not much news here, but I’m still working on FOW ;) Here goes the summary of last updates:
- Got HTTP server from Google Toolbox. It might be useful for testing the code;
- ActiveRecord looked too complex for me. You can use anything you want for your ORM, but seems that there will be only some DB abstraction layer in FOW for now (yup, plain old SQL);
- MGTemplateEngine is a very interesting django-looking thing. Might be bundled alongside with Google’s CTemplate engine;
- Source code tree is mostly stabilised now.
I have some plans to bundle FOW with a launcher code, that would allow one to have an already compiled fcgi application that would just load handler bundles (and unload, so you could update code in nearly runtime). Flexibility is good. Complexity is not.
