Description:
Even with ORMs like ActiveRecord, DataMapper which ease the pain of relational data storage, considerable developer effort goes into wrangling Ruby objects into their databases. This is true even when working with Document-oriented databases where the nested data structures more closely map to Ruby objects. Aqua (http://github.com/baccigalupi/aqua) is a new, proof-of-concept library that aims to painlessly and transparently persists Ruby objects, allowing developers to focus more on object-oriented code and less on storage structuring.

I did not enjoy this talk. I think the choices made by the project are poor, and the presentation spent a lot of time jumping around. Tangents were frequent. I was hoping for big things, but it was really just presenting on incomplete ideas and experiments.
