I am new to world of databases in general and using Elixir has solved many of my needs and made it enjoyable at the same time. But recently I've been interested in trying to do things in less orthodox ways and I think I hit a wall [1] with Elixir. I don't know if that wall can be overcome easily or not, but I think I hit that wall in the first place because I was expecting Elixir objects behave like regular objects and thus I wanted to try some more advanced features that Python language offers. I think it would be great if Elixir objects behaved more like Python objects. Hopefully this would make those objects more easily manipulable and combined with other types of Python idioms and tools that are the reason why I love using Python so much in the first place. I hope I understood the issue ... If not, pardon my ignorance ... :-) --- [1] In case anybody is wondering, my main issue is how fields are declared. I've been reviewing the process and all that getframe hacking is a neat thing that I had never ever thought of or had to deal directly before, but certainly it is not how I expected things to work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SQLElixir" group.
