I have been rockin on a new application. I have about 12 hours in it right now. I picked up Torque and gave it a try. Everyone loves Hibernate but me. I did not like my experience with it at all. The community around it is pretty cool, but I just couldn't get Hibernate. Then I tried to update it and whoa buddy...
I bumped into Torque in a very round about way. Reading the Struts mailing list, I ran across James Turner. I dug what he was saying so I started looking at what he has done in the past. Nifty, article on Torque, hmmm wonder what that is... Whoa YAPL (Yet Another Persistence Layer). I must say, I was up and running with Torque in less than 3 hours (about 5234520 hours less than it took for Hibernate, I must be dumb) with some working tests and some new ideas. Of course Torque doesn't do Aggregates (Is there a persitence layer that does?) and so I have to figure out what I am going to do about that.
Anyway, I really wanted to say that, dang it takes to long to write an app. I have this killer vision on how things should work. I know just what it should do, but actually getting it done is another matter.
