I am developing a project right now that aims to out-do ORM at its own game, by changing the paradigm so the relational database and application programming realms are unified into one environment, where relations and tuples are first-class types you can use in applications, and the same arbitrary user-defined types you can use in applications can be used directly in databases, no "mapping" required. I hope to have a first version executing in about 2 months. -- Darren Duncan
