What's Next for CRO? Short-Term * the test-database setup thing makes me want to stab my past self * MySQL support. Do people still use that? * sqlite support that isn't just a smelly pile of brokenness * Probably some way of splitting queries that have multiple has-many relations prefetched to avoid combinatorial explosions in the number of rows returned. We handle it "correctly", but slowly. * A less facepalmy SchemaCache system; like imagine if you could generate a schema file and modify it, in perl. I wonder if anyone has done that. * A global option to turn off reluctance in production, or at least downgrade "throwing an exception" to "emitting a warning to the log" * Memory Leak hunt continues Long-Term * why does this exist * couldn't it just be a wrapper around DBIx::Class, or some kind of plugin to it * might be fun to do this in Ruby * what am I thinking writing an ORM was a horrible nightmare, everyone was right * I should go to law school
