Goal of this project?

[rvirding]

I was just wondering where we want to go with this project? LFE already supports QLCs. There is even the lfe_trans module for translating LFE <-> Erlang which is used by this[*]. I have nothing against having another interface if we wish.

[*] Using this would simplify the compiler but where's the fun in that?

*chuckles* (about the footnote)

The goals of this project are to provide:

• an API (modules + function names) that are familiar/expected to the average web developer (I'm afraid I'm going to have to look at MongoDB!)
• a unified set of module names (wrappers for mnesia and qlc) that provide a consistent developer experience for those using the API

I ended up having some sort of wrapper around mnesia aswell (github.com/arpunk/memento), mostly for moving the params order to provide a consistent usage and minor syntax sugar to be a little more like mito and sxql.

In the end LFE offered the QLC wrappers and macros that I needed, so I stopped working on my wrapper from the time being.

Being that said, I think that in the projects I've used mnesia I was happy I didn't had to use any wrappers to have a more straight forward translation from the Erlang world.
